Peter Schmeichel: Ex-Man Utd keeper considering applying for director role
Manchester United great Peter Schmeichel says the club
should appoint a director of football and believes he would make a good
candidate.
United sacked Jose Mourinho as manager on Tuesday and have
named ex-player Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as caretaker boss, with the side thrashing
Cardiff 5-1 in his first game in charge on Saturday.
They do not have a director of football but are expected to
recruit one.
"I'm actually thinking about putting my name in
there," Schmeichel said.
Former Tottenham and Southampton head of recruitment Paul
Mitchell, who is at German top-flight side RB Leipzig, has being linked with
the position.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek, former Denmark
goalkeeper Schmeichel added: "It's a tough thing to find out about
yourself. Everyone looks at you, the scrutiny, and I'm not afraid of that. It's
also a really big change in what I've done.
"I really want to get involved in football again at
some point. I know I'm getting older, but my life has just turned out a
different way after I retired from football."
