United have confirmed Lindegaard, 30, is free to leave Old Trafford after failing to make a single appearance so far this season.

The Denmark international has struggled to challenge David De Gea for United's No.1 spot despite being at the club since 2010.

He made only one Premier League appearance for the Red Devils last season and new boss Louis van Gaal has told him he has no future at the club.

Van Gaal is keen on signing former Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes.

Spanish stopper Valdes, 32, has been training with United's first team at Carrington as he recovers from a long-term knee injury.

Benfica attempted to sign Lindegaard in the last transfer window and have been alerted by his agent that the player may now be willing to resurrect the deal.
