Schmeichel: United do not have a leader in the defense

28.10.2014

Peter Schmeichel said he believed that the Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal will fix his mistake and will sign with a central defender, as the club needs a leader in the defensive.

"Whoever in the defense of Van Gaal, it seems like he can not command good the players who stand around him. He needs a central defender who should lead the team and tell them` we must do this`.

"This team does not have such a player. In my time at United have always had defenders who were leaders and take responsibility. For various reasons, the current situation is not such. On Sunday, De Hea played very well and tried to give stability to the defense in the way that controlled the things over the penalty box, "said Schmeichel.
