Peter Schmeichel names only team who can stop Manchester United qualifying for Champions League
22.02.2022 - 07:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Peter Schmeichel believes only one team can stop Manchester United qualifying for next season's Champions League.
United did their chances of competing in next year's European showcase the world of good with an impressive victory at fierce rivals Leeds.
Harry Maguire opened the scoring for United in the first half with a header from a corner - the club's first in almost 140 attempts in the league this season - before Bruno Fernandes doubled his side's advantage just before the break.
Leeds stunned their visitors with two quick-fire strikes from Rodrigo and Raphinha within minutes of the restart, only for super subs Fred and Anthony Elanga to seal the three points for Ralf Rangnick's men.
Digesting the result, Schmeichel believes that only one side can stop United from gaining Champions League football next campaign.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast: "I think Arsenal have shown some great form.
"But actually, on current form in the last five games, Man United is a little bit better than Arsenal. It’s hard to see but they are.
"I think having the points on the board rather than games in hand [is more important]."
Tell us who you think United’s captain should be below or here.
On the performance, Schmeichel added: "It was important – really, really important – that the team came out yesterday, in the most difficult of circumstances, and showed the world that they are United, and they play as a team.
"It was a great win, let me absolutely clear about that it was a great win, but I still think there is a long, long, long way to go for this team.
"They’ve still got, in terms of football, so many more things to prove."
