Anders Lindegaard remains confident that he will be given the chance to prove his worth at Manchester United this season.Lindegaard put in an impressive performance in the 1-1 draw at Benfica earlier this month and, with doubts having been raised over David De Gea earlier in the season, there were calls for the Denmark goalkeeper to be given the chance to make the position his own.
Following his showing in Benfica, Lindegaard stressed his determination to stay in the first-team - "I am here because I want to be No. 1," he said - but he has not been given an opportunity since. Ben Amos was selected for the recent Carling Cup tie against Leeds, while De Gea has played every other game.
Speaking after Tuesday's 3-3 draw at home to FC Basel, Lindegaard said he has not been told why he has not featured, but he believes he will be given further opportunities as the campaign progresses.
"I've had no explanation," he told TV2 Sport. "That's the way it is. You can't play two goalkeepers, but I will get some more playing time this season.
"You're always disappointed when you don't play. I am still full of confidence, though, because I have a lot of faith in the club and will play plenty of games."
