Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard has signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until 2016.

Lindegaard joined United in January 2011 and has found himself as first choice goalkeeper with David de Gea away on Olympic duty with Spain.

Speaking to the official Manchester United website, Lindegaard said: "I'm very pleased to have signed a new contract. I'm glad and proud that the manager has shown the confidence he has in me by giving me a new deal.

"There is nowhere in the world I would rather be than right here. The competition for places is tough, as it should be in a club like this. It only makes us better as individuals and, more importantly, stronger as a team.

"It's what I have dreamt of all my life and nothing makes me more proud than wearing the Manchester United badge."

The Danish international was ruled out for much of last season with a knee injury.
