Lindegaard: Manchester United defence is "world class"

Manchester United keeper Anders Lindegaard hails his team's "world class" defence.

Manchester United keeper Anders Lindegaard has said that his team's defence will see the Red Devils through to the last 16 of the Champions League.

They achieved their fourth clean sheet in five league games on Saturday with a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa.

United take on Swiss side Basel on Wednesday, and they need at least one point to progress in Europe.

"Our defence was world class against Aston Villa," Lindegaard said. "Vidic and Ferdinand showed they are truly world class players.

"The quality we have been showing in defence since the Manchester City game has been scary."

United are currently second in the Premier League, five points off leaders and local rivals Manchester City.
