'Look who I met!': Peter Schmeichel shares smiling snap of him and fellow Manchester United goalkeeping legend Edwin van der Sar after bumping into him while out shopping

Two Manchester United goalkeeping legends shared a smiling photo on Tuesday afternoon after randomly bumping into each other while out shopping in Denmark.

Incredibly, Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van Der Sar crossed paths by accident in the Danish city of Herning, before taking a photo that Manchester United fans will certainly view very fondly.

The pair are both Old Trafford legends, with Schmeichel having played 398 times for the club, while Van der Sar followed him shortly after with 266 games of his own.

Van der Sar is now CEO of Dutch club Ajax, who play Midtjylland away in the Champions League on Tuesday - hence his lunchtime stroll around the Dutch city near where the club play their matches.
