Quotes from Peter Schmeichel

I want to see Pogba being a Manchester United player and being as good as everything else he does in life. He's absolutely brilliant on social media, and he's projecting himself to be this incredibly modern player.

In three weeks, you can improve a lot. You can train a lot. You can come up with a proper plan.

My mother really wanted me to go to school and to university, but I was adamant that I wanted to be a football player.

To have an 18-year-old coming to you demanding money before he's even played - that has got to be frustrating for a manager to deal with.

If you're mentally ready, you're willing to go the extra mile.

This is something you learn as soon as you walk through the doors at Old Trafford: that you're never better than your last performance. You always have to improve on your last performance.

You've got to get a certain amount of sleep. You've got to eat the right thing. You've got to train in the right manner. You've got to behave in the right manner.

Change is good. Quick change can be very dangerous.

It is very nice Kasper has now also won the Premier League, too. I am very proud; I think he has done a fantastic job. It has been amazing to bring this lad into the world and bring him up and hear his wishes and hopes for the future, his ambitions; he made it fairly clear early on that he wanted to become a footballer.

You will not get anywhere if you are not a great team. It's simple.

Any football club, any person, any human being alive goes through adversity. The art of living life is to recover from that and respond to any challenges being thrown at you.

It's not the mistake that's important; it's how you recover from it. If you recover instantly, in that second, it's gone from your mind. You play on and don't make the next mistake, and that's the sign of a top keeper. Joe Hart certainly is one of those guys.

Penalty shoot-outs are the most high-pressure situation that a goalkeeper will face, and in a World Cup, it's even worse because the stakes are so high.

I have no regrets about leaving, and I don't miss being at United at all.

If we should have any regrets as Manchester United, that is that we only gave David Moyes seven months. I think we should have given him more time, accepted that results weren't going to be the way we hoped they would be and that playing would be a little bit different. I believe he would have grown into that role.

There are hundreds of players who are trying to be a Beckham or Cantona but do not have the personality, and they fail.

People talk about the hair dryer and all this with Sir Alex Ferguson. What was really great about him, whatever happened in a game, he would spend whatever minutes it took him to get this out of this system and say whatever needed to be said. Once he said, 'Get your bath,' that was it. We knew that it would never return.

In football you sometimes have beauty and cruelty together.

During a big tournament, it is the small details that make big differences.

With a club like Manchester United that have history and traditions, I think the manager at the club should respect that.

Sir Alex is so consistent with his management. He manages each person differently, but you know exactly where you are with him. You know exactly what is required.

If Sir Alex says, 'Listen, I want you to play for my team,' it's very difficult not to say yes.

The fear of letting people down - that's the drive. Sir Alex, I think, if he was brave enough to say it, he would say the same, but in his eyes, the motivating factor is that you want to be the best.

People say that Andrea Pirlo is the main player and that everything goes through him, but that's an illusion. Pirlo is a brilliant player but doesn't dominate Italy's play as much as people say.
