Christian Eriksen is reportedly on the verge of joining Manchester United on a free after his short-term contract at Brentford expired – but he won’t be the first player from Denmark to pull on the famous red shirt. Five Danes have previously lined up for the first team at Old Trafford.

After a couple of strong seasons in the Norweigian top tier for Aalesund, United swept in and signed Lindegaard in November 2010 as back-up to Edwin van der Sar.
Van der Sar then left in the summer of 2011, but with the signing of David de Gea, Lindegaard remained the second-choice ‘keeper.
