Man Utd Transfer News: Kasper Schmeichel has been tipped to replace David de Gea

Kasper’s spot-kick heroics now makes him more successful facing penalties at Old Trafford (saving 1 of 1) than his father Peter (saving 0 of 3), who made 292 league appearances for the Red Devils.
“When have you seen a goalkeeper save a penalty and not move before it was taken? Never, is the answer,” Crooks told the BBC.
“But that does not take anything away from the fact that Schmeichel's save from Romelu Lukaku in Leicester's 2-0 defeat at Manchester United was still top class.
“To have conceded two goals and still get in my team of the week you must have had one hell of a game. It's clear to me that Schmeichel just loves playing at Old Trafford.

“How extraordinary that he has saved more penalties at the ground than his father Peter did when he had the honour of playing for the Red Devils between 1991 and 1999.
“The truth is that had it not been for Kasper it could have been 5-0 and it was the Dane's outstanding performance that kept Leicester in the game for so long.
