Peter Schmeichel Admits Desire to See Son Kasper Play for Manchester United

Former Denmark international goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has revealed he would love to see his son Kasper Schmeichel follow in his footsteps by representing Manchester United.

The Red Devils legend won 15 major honours during an eight-year spell at Old Trafford including five Premier League titles, three FA Cups and the Champions League in 1999 before moving to Sporting CP.

Yet it was ironically Schmeichel's last professional club Manchester City who gave his son Kasper the opportunity to launch a career in football when he joined their academy, making his professional debut whilst on loan at Darlington in 2006.
