Sir Alex Ferguson admits that he plans to switch between David de Gea and Anders Lindegaard in the Manchester United goal this season.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that he intends to alternate his two senior goalkeepers this season.

Both David de Gea and Anders Lindegaard have kept goal for the Red Devils this season, with neither able to establish themselves as Ferguson's full time number one.

However, Ferguson has insisted that he has no problem with switching between the duo.

"The most important thing I'm trying to do is give both of them experience in the English game," he told a press conference. "Neither is as experienced as Edwin van der Sar or Peter Schmeichel.

"Alternating isn't a problem for me. They're both equally very good goalkeepers. That's the policy we've adopted this season and last season, although De Gea played most of last season after Lindegaard was injured. I'm comfortable with this situation."

Spaniard De Gea is expected to keep goal against Galatasaray tomorrow night.
