Fergie snaps at Dalglish's daughter in post-match interview over keeper question

Sir Alex Ferguson reacted angrily to questions on TV about why he replaced goalkeeper David de Gea with Anders Lindegaard for Manchester United's Champions League game in Benfica.



Lindegaard played a starring role in the 1-1 draw after being drafted in to replace his Spanish team-mate.



Short shrift: Fergie took umbrage to a question about keeper selection

Asked about the decision by ITV interviewer Kelly Cates - daughter of Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish - Ferguson snapped: 'David de Gea will play on Sunday against Chelsea.

'That was the understanding we had before the game, and it doesn't change. I don't know why you ask these questions, you're just looking for stupid little things.







'Anyway, it proves we have two terrific goalkeepers.'



Lindegaard was delighted to have been given his chance and declared he is ready to fight for the No 1 spot.



Take a bow: Lindegaard was in inspired form, despite conceding







Asked about challenging De Gea, 20, the Denmark goalkeeper said: 'What answer do you expect to that question? I've said a thousand times before I'm not here to pick my nose.

'I enjoyed it very much, it was a great night. It's a great stadium to play at, a very loud audience. This is why I came to United, to play these kind of games.



'There's always a bit of nerves and if there isn't then it's not that enjoyable. It makes me feel alive. I'm satisfied with my performance, just a bit sad that I didn't save the first goal.'

United fell behind to a first-half goal from Benfica centre forward Oscar Cardozo but Ryan Giggs equalised just before half-time.

Speaking about the goalkeepers in his written press conference, Ferguson said: 'I was very impressed with Anders, but we've got two great goalkeepers in Anders and David.



'David will play against Chelsea and possibly Anders will play against Leeds United on Tuesday.'



Flat out: De Gea is set to return to the team
