A BLOT ON HIS CV

Schmeichel told the Manchester Evening News.

"We will have to wait and see what the reaction will be but I do not expect a lot of bad feelings about my move, especially when I explain why I picked Manchester City as my club. I think most people will understand. There has been a big gap between me leaving United and joining City. Obviously, I am coming from the outside, I am not born into this Manchester United - City relationship. I understand the competitiveness between the two clubs but I don't believe there is that much hatred. Most of my social circle from being in Manchester last time are from the blue part of the city and they are full of respect for what was achieved at Old Trafford,"
