The Great Dane sounds out likely replacement
Possibly United’s best goalkeeper ever and a clear shout for one of all the greatest of all time replacing a man like him took United years and after 6 we finally did so in Edwin van der Sar. Now Edwin has hit crazy heights between the sticks providing a stability we sorely lacked after Schmeichel had left.
Now Edwin is coming to the end of his career a number of keepers are being sounded out and Schmeichel himself has offered his two cents stating we should go after Liverpool’s keeper Pepe Reina:
“You can look at talent, you can look at young, good players – you don’t want that. You want someone that can go in straight away and give performances in 80% of the games that the No. 1 choice goalkeeper will play for Manchester United… The rumours are very, very strong around Old Trafford with this. A lot of goalkeepers are mentioned, but Reina seems to be the one that fits in the team and if he ever was to leave Liverpool, which again there is a big, big rumour he will, Manchester United would be a great club for him to come to.
I hope that someone like Pepe Reina will go to United when Edwin calls it a day and I hear rumours that he is going to leave Liverpool so for him to go to Man Utd would be very, very good for us.”
Very big claims from Schmeichel but would Reina really cross the divide? He has just signed a 6 year contract at Anfield so is a departure on the cards especially to Old Trafford?
