Anders Lindegaard not looking for Manchester United exit

Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard understands why he is playing back-up to David de Gea and is not looking to leave Old Trafford.

Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard has insisted that he will not sacrifice leaving his "dream club" in the search for immediate first-team football.

The 29-year-old Dane featured for only the second time this campaign as the Premier League champions were knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round courtesy of a 2-1 home defeat to Swansea City.

"If I see it through my own eyes, I would say 'Jesus Christ I am not playing, why is that'," Lindegaard told reporters. "Then it would be easy to get frustrated. I have to try and be objective, and raise myself up above just myself and see it from the club's perspective and how much pressure we have been under. Then it is easier for me to understand why things are the way they are.

"For me it is all about being a happy human being. I am that now at Manchester United. It is my club since I was a small kid. This is my dream. The question is do I have to compromise that dream and seek elsewhere. Right now the decision is to stay here and help the club. That is the most important thing.

"If I was sitting watching the games on the couch, I would be very disappointed. You have to remember how lucky you are. How many football players can say they are part of their biggest dream? I am not stupid. I can see I could use some more games somewhere but right now I am helping this club as much as I can."

Lindegaard has made 30 appearances for United in all competitions since moving to Old Trafford from Aalesund in a £3.5m switch on New Year's Day in 2011.
