Peter Schmeichel:

He's got everything. He's got almost 100 caps for Holland. They are a great team and have been for a long time. So that just shows what he can do.

"He performs at a certain level every time. That is one of the most valuable things you can have as a goalkeeper.

"Being a goalkeeper at Old Trafford is special. You're not in the game all the time. You have to be alert and aware of what is happening, every single moment of the game.

"With van der Sar, he has the quality to play for United.

"If you make a mistake it can follow you for a long time. We've seen that happen with other United goalkeepers. Mistakes have been made and a lot of people will not forget them."
