Lindegaard nearing United return

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed he expects goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard to be available for Manchester United within the next three weeks.

The Denmark international had just broken into the Red Devils first team on a regular basis when he injured an ankle in training. It has ruled Lindegaard out since the end of January, offering David de Gea the chance to re-establish himself as United's number one.

"Anders is doing all the running now," said Ferguson.
