Peter Schmeichel makes incredible Manchester United claim

Peter Schmeichel has dismissed talk of civil war at Manchester United insisted Jose Moruinho is taking the club forward. United legend Schmeichel told TalkSport the signs are there that Mourinho is building a squad capable of bringing success to Old Trafford. Schmeichel said: “I think they are working to a plan and it’s kind of going to plan. It’s not this unsuccessful place that I read about and listen to in the media. “There’s a Europa League win, there’s a League Cup win, there’s two FA Cup finals and they were runners-up to an incredible Manchester City side last year. I think, all in all, that’s not too bad. “What I see is progress; it’s getting better, we’ve got better players, more exciting players, players who are inspirational for the fans. People want to get to Old Trafford to see these guys play. “At some point, everything will gel together and Jose will have the kind of team that he really wants and I’m sure that we’re going to see a much more different Man United team and performance.” Schmeichel says the secret to getting the £98million star playing at his best may just be found in allowing Pogba to have a break. He added: “Paul’s come back from the World Cup having won it, he’s come back very early and it’s really difficult. “I’ve obviously never been all the way to the final but I went to the quarter-final and to come back with very little break, very little holiday after you’ve been on this incredible high – you find yourself in this state that’s been going on for three or four weeks and then it’s gone. “You completely deflate and to inflate yourself again it just takes time. Unfortunately, the football calendar is such that even the guys all the way to the final won’t have much of a break. “Hopefully later on in the season there is an opportunity to give those players (Paul Pogba is one of them) just a little bit of a breather – it is so difficult, honestly. "Your mind is somewhere else, you look at the eleven months ahead of you and think, ‘This is the steepest mountain’ and at some point you need to just get away from it. “Hopefully he will get that.”
