Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard has signed a new four-year deal at Old Trafford.
The contract will keep the Denmark international at United until the end of the 2015/16 season.
Lindegaard, 28, signed for United in January 2011 and has made eight Barclays Premier League appearances.
"There is nowhere in the world I would rather be than right here"
- Anders Lindegaard
He took over from David De Gea as first choice in January 2012 before suffering a knee injury in training.
Lindegaard told United's website: "I'm glad and proud that the manager has shown the confidence he has in me by giving me a new deal.
"There is nowhere in the world I would rather be than right here. The competition for places is tough, as it should be in a club like this.
"It only makes us better as individuals and, more importantly, stronger as a team.
"It's what I have dreamt of all my life and nothing makes me more proud than wearing the Manchester United badge.”
Improvement
Ferguson said Lindegaard had improved enormously as a keeper since joining the club.
"There is healthy competition in the goalkeeping department, which is always good for the team, albeit a headache for me," he added.
"I am delighted he has signed a new contract and also delighted to see that he has clearly returned from the summer break in good shape."
