to Real Madrid in recent weeks but the Dane
insists Louis van Gaal should "fight tooth and nail"
to keep him
more medals than him if he chooses to stay at
Manchester United this summer, amid interest from
Real Madrid.
Schmeichel won 15 trophies at Old Trafford during
a glittering eight-year stay at the club, including
five Premier Leagues and the Champions League.
De Gea has emerged as one of the finest
goalkeepers in world football over the last two
seasons and has attracted interest from the
Spanish giants, but United's former keeper has
urged him to stay at Old Trafford.
“I would be upset if he left this summer because
I’m certain he could go on to make multiple
hundreds of appearances for United — and end up
winning more medals than me,” he is quoted as
saying by The Sun .
“There is no reason I can see why he wouldn’t be
successful if he stayed for the rest of his career.”
Schmeichel also believes that Louis van Gaal
should bow to any contractual demands that De
Gea makes, such is his irrefutable importance to
the club.
“Whatever David would want in a new contract, if I
were Van Gaal, I would fight tooth and nail to keep
him happy in Manchester,” he added.
“Let’s face it, the number of games where David
saved United three points or one point is the
reason why they were fourth in the table. He has
just been unbelievable.
“He is by a long way over the last two seasons
United’s best performer.
