​Legendary Man Utd keeper has doubts over Guardiola as future boss

Former Manchester United keeper Peter Schmeichel believes even big names such as Pep Guardiola would be tempted to tinker with the Red Devils attacking philosophy.

Current boss Louis van Gaal's playing style has been the focal point of such criticism, yet asked whether Guardiola would be better suited to United in the future, Schmeichel told Soccer Special he would not want to see the Bayern Munich boss at Old Trafford.

"This is my biggest fear that someone like Pep Guardiola will become the next Manchester United manager," he said.

"Guardiola has a way of playing, he has a system and he sticks to that. He has changed Bayern Munich from what I thought was a fantastic treble-winning team under Jupp Heynckes.

"[They played] quick football, through the middle, using the width of the pitch, but they were passing the ball and killing everyone they played against.

"He started to make them pass the ball sideways and I don't think they are as exciting as what they were."
