Edwin van der Sar was Lindegaard's primary backup during his early years at Manchester United. Van der Sar, a legendary Dutch goalkeeper, joined United in 2005 and was the club's undisputed number one for six seasons. Lindegaard arrived at Old Trafford in 2010 as a backup option and spent most of his time on the bench, with Van der Sar's experience and consistency keeping him out of the starting lineup.
