The Good, The Bad & The Football
Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United

He looks like he's a lot fitter than he's ever been.

The Good, The Bad & The Football

it looks like he's picked up a little bit of pace as well.

I don't think this is something that Ruben Amarin didn't like.

One of the things, because his style of play, the way he moves, looks slow.

The Good, The Bad & The Football
Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United

And I think it's deceiving.

The Good, The Bad & The Football
Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United

He's not slow.

The Good, The Bad & The Football
Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United

No, he's not slow.

The Good, The Bad & The Football
Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United

And yesterday he looked quick.

The Good, The Bad & The Football

He was quick in closing down.

The Good, The Bad & The Football
Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United

And I mean, he's an intelligent player.

The Good, The Bad & The Football
Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United

He actually said that to us yesterday as well.

The Good, The Bad & The Football

He said that Michael's looked after him and he's not pushed him either.

The Good, The Bad & The Football

Where, you know, some managers are...

The Good, The Bad & The Football
Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United

They are nervous about their position, so they're pushing players, and they're pushing them in before they should be.

The Good, The Bad & The Football

A really, really good example is, I go back to Bayern, because I think Vincent Kompany's done really, really well there.

So about a month ago, I asked him about Musiala and Alphonse Davies, you know.

The Good, The Bad & The Football
Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United

Musiali's back, but he's not played nine things.

The Good, The Bad & The Football
Peter Schmeichel: United Need Xhaka, Carrick Deserves The Job & I Should Never Have Left United

He said, no, I know, because I had so many injuries in my life, I know how difficult it is to come back from them, so I'm not going to push any player coming back from injury.

The Good, The Bad & The Football

I'm going to give him 45 minutes there, 10 minutes there, and then slowly, and then we'll see how it goes.

The Good, The Bad & The Football

And I don't think there's a lot of managers out there who, first of all, have that kind of experience, but also are brave enough to do that with key players.
