Linde a hand: Irons in negotiations with Man Utd over Danish ace Lindegaard

According to Danish website sporten.dk, West Ham are currently in talks with Manchester United over the possible transfer of Danish international goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard.

The 28 year old has recently fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford, with Spaniard David De Gea having established himself as the Red Devils' number one, and big keeper Lindegaard has stated previously that he has no intention of staying at the club to warm the bench. United boss Alex Ferguson has also reportedly had designs on Stoke City's Bosnian keeper Asimir Begovic for some time, and is now seemingly keen to offload Lindegaard to make way for the ex Portsmouth stopper, and a move to the Boleyn Ground would seem to suit the interests of both United and Lindegaard.

The Hammers are presently talking to the Manchester club over a fee, and this signing; if it happens; will likely signal the end of 37 year old Jussi Jaaskelainen's time at Upton Park. The Finn has been inconsistent between the posts this season and West Ham boss Sam Allardyce is known to be looking at addressing the goalkeeping issue, with the experience of Fulham's Mark Schwarzer also said to appeal to him, according to the Express.
