Burnley have signed former Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard until the end of the season.
The Danish stopper, 33, had been training at Sean Dyche‘s Premier League side this week before putting pen to paper on a deal.
The Dane had been a free agent since leaving Preston at the end of last season.

“It seems like an honest place and a very hard-working place and I appreciate being a part of it, read a statement on club’s website.
He will wear squad number 22 and brings the number of senior goalkeepers available to Dyche back up to three, alongside Nick Pope and Adam Legzdins.
A former Goalkeeper of the Year with clubs in Norway and his native Denmark, Lindegaard spent five seasons at Old Trafford, earning a Premier League winners’ medal in 2012/13 in Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season in charge of United.
He then moved to West Bromwich Albion in August, 2015 and joined Preston, initially on loan, in January, 2016, spending 18 months at Deepdale ahead of his switch across Lancashire to Turf Moor.
