I have seen so many high quality GK, from Germany, Italy, some even from Belgium... but damn, Peter Schmeichel was not just a monster Gk he had a monster charisma as well... Sporting were nearly 20 years without winning in Portugal when they signed Schmeichel they won the tittle the year after, and i if am not mistaken Man United didnt used to win in EPL as well before signing him, so he was the rock that helped to build squads. the greatest GK i ever witnessed on the pitch, without disregard the obvious extreme quality of other names.

I think the most oustanding feature of Schmeichel was his ability to control the penalty area. Schmeichel was not the fastest, tallest, quickest etc but if you as an attacker entered the penalty area you would have Schmeichel all over you. I have not seen this with any other goalkeeper

Schmeichel is the best goal keeper of all time. Unbelievable ❤❤ EVD was also incredible for United ❤❤

Even as a Dutchman I would choose Schmeichel. The impact and standard he set as a goalkeeper for MU can not be underestimated. The fact that VDS lived up to that only validates that. However I would give the category physical & technical attributes to VDS, but only slightly.

(Respectfully) Forget all these stats, awards etc. I feel the eye test is a more reliable method. You said it yourself, it's extremely difficult to *prove* who actually had better reflexes, or who had better distribution, but i think I can say quite confidently anybody old enough to have seen 5+ seasons of both these PHENOMENAL goalkeepers most likely regards Schmeichel as not only superior to Edwin, but to 99.9% of every goalkeeper to have played the game. I've never seen a keeper make as many effective, smothering, intimidating 1v1s stops. Some of those double saves and the freakishly impossible stops from headers he made are arguably the most impressive saves I've ever seen

Arguably the two greatest goalkeepers to stand in between the sticks for Man United

Schmeichel was a beast back in the day. United tended to either loose or draw matches if he missed them either through injury or suspension. He totally held the defence together. In one on one's, there was no better. I dont think I've seen any other keeper since use the long throw out as a counter attack weapon like he did. His one major fault was his left foot. I was always nervous when he had to make a quick clearance from a back pass on his left. Van der Sar was class for his age or any age for that matter. Cool, calm and collective. Great shot stopper with great distribution but didn't put the absolute fear of god in attackers in one on one situations or if a forward dared enter the 18 yard box like Schmeichel did.

I'm nearly sure UTD were knocked out of Europe or lost matches they should have won in the group stages because Schmeichel was injured.

There was nothing quite like watching Peter Schmeichel, a unique goalkeeper literally feared by strikers, whom you felt so assured about that you almost wanted the opposition to get through to test him. Read a chart back in 1995 or maybe 1996 that listed one-on-one save percentages among goalkeepers playing in England. To no surprise Schmeichel topped the list, but what was crazy was that he topped as No.1 with a save-percentage of 80 plus with a massive drop to the No.2 a save-percentage around 40, the following were all close up at 30 to 40 percent. Aside from that, he was a massive character and a presence on the pitch who also was immensely popular and made goalkeeping much more attractive, thus making Schmeichel shirts the most popular Man Utd merch only outdone by the popularity of Cantona shirts. This is/was very unusual Goalkeeper shirts being ranked that high in club-merch popularity.

Not only the greatest goalkeeper of all time, but he changed goalkeeping, and not just in England. The role of goalkeeper had been played the same way for a century. Peter came along and made managers realise that you could have a third centre back that could use his hands, as well as a protector of the goal frame. Back in the 80's when Bruce G came sprinting out of his area for Liverpool, the fans would almost cringe thinking 'oh God', because chaos normally ensued, but then Peter came along and every time he came out to close the attackers down you knew more often than not that the attacker was going to fail

But when Schmeichel joined Man Utd, it was an entirely different club than the one we perceive today. As said in the video, Man Utd hadn't won the league in 26 years, so they had to create a their own winning formula, which they did with Schmeichel being a huge integral part. When Van Der Sar joined Man Utd, the club was Englands biggest club, financially the richest club in the world and title contenders with an established winning formula. I'm not saying that Man Utd was a small club before Schmeichel (right around Everton and Aston Villa, below Arsenal and way more below Liverpool), but it was far from the same club when he left and later when Van Der Sar joined. On a sidenote, when Schmeichel left Man Utd he joined Sporting CP in Portugal and subsequently played a major part in their first league title win in 18 years. Aside from that, he won 4 Danish league titles with Brøndby before joining Man Utd. The man was a serial winner and was the incarnation of a winning culture which he brought with him.... Did I mention he won the Euro 1992 with Denmark and was named player of the tournament?

It is impossible to say who was the best .Two of the best to wear the shirt.Both of them never let the club or the fans.Glad to see them play and a honour to have met them both two gentlemen. Dave.

Watched them both throughout their careers! United fan myself and Peter was a different breed. Absolutely dominant, so much so even Liverpool fans rate him as the best prem goalkeeper and it takes a lot to get praise from a Liverpool fan when it comes to anything to do with Mufc 😂

I love the uncle in the start of the video, turning around "noni?"

Schmeichel developed his Star Jump by playing in goal at handball, to make himself look larger. Both are outstanding goalkeepers, it's a bit like comparing Ronaldo and Messi, the arguments just go on and on. Thanks for the video.

I'd be happy with any of these two... And i'd be sad if we never witnessed these two greats.

I wudn't have imagined VDS reaching / so pivotal in the second height of SAF's managing career at the club. When we signed him I was worried whether he'd be another Laurent Blanc. I love the whole Ajax CL champ team and thought VDS did very well in national team but you'd have felt he had passed his prime being in Juve then Fulham. It was so sensational and I teared when he saved Anelka's penalty and lifted the CL cup. It was such a wonder night as Man Utd and VDS' fans. HAHAHA my pick would definitely be VDS for I watched him week in/ week out and his ball playing ability is very much appreciated in modern football too.

I grew up watching both. Hard to tell who was better. Both were legends in goal. Both set the standards for goalkeeping in EPL. Waiting for another United GK in the league of the 2 legends.....

Oh hell I love them both

Wasn't lucky enough to witness Schemiel play but heard the importance he had at United

Schmeichel was more of a dominant character and more of a force on the pitch. He played the game on the edge at times and was a driving force. Some of the saves he made were breathtaking. Van der Sar was more of a calming presence and rarely did you ever see him out of position. His was text book goalkeeping of the highest order. I’m biased towards Schmeichel. He was one of my childhood heroes. With that said I think Edwin was a technically better goalkeeper but The Great Dane was one of those handful of goalkeepers that got you on the edge of your seat. Watching a one on one was like watching your teams striker through on goal. You anticipated a great save.
