Schmeichel helped denmark to the 1992 European Championships a year after joining United and he has been a rock-steady presence at Old Trafford, winning two Championship medals, FA Cup and European Super Cup medals. He is fast off his line,can set up swift counter attacks with his long throws and is also prone to come forward for corners if a last-ditch goal is what United need.
