Manchester United dream team - the greatest ever Red Devils
Monday, 9 April 2012

PETER SCHMEICHEL
Goalkeeper
Manchester United, 1991-199, 292 appearances
United have a patchy record with goalkeepers for some reason and for every Harry Gregg or Edwin van der Saar, there's been a Chris Turner or a Gary Bailey. Not dreadful (Taibi) but not always top notch. Schmeichel tops them all. Physically intimidating, his athleticism could be astonishing, his willingness to improvise equally so - as his dignity-shredding star-jump saves would attest. Life threatening to defenders as well as opposing strikers, he was clearly barking, but unarguably the best goalie the Premiership has seen.
They may be on the brink of clinching their 20th league title but do any of the current crop make it into the Manchester United dream team?

There is no room for Giggs, Ronaldo, Stam, Scholes or Keane - testament to the quality that has passed through Old Trafford over the years.
