Anders Lindegaard nearing Manchester United return

Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard will reportedly return to first-team training this week following an ankle injury.

The Dane was expected to miss up to five weeks with ligament damage that he sustained at the beginning of February.

The 27-year-old is now edging closer to a return to the senior squad, according to Goal.com.

Lindegaard's absence has seen the much-criticised David De Gea cement his place in United's first team.
