Manchester United have provisionally agreed a £3.5m deal to replace Edwin van der Sar with a goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has flatly described as not good enough to play for the club.
Anders Lindegaard, the newly established Danish international, will move to Old Trafford in January but Schmeichel thinks Sir Alex Ferguson is making a serious error bringing in the 26-year-old from the Norwegian club Aalesunds FK.
"I don't believe it for a minute," Schmeichel replied in an interview last week in which he championed Liverpool's José Reina as the right man to take over from Van der Sar if, as expected, the Dutchman retires at the end of the season.
