Peter Schmeichel is arrogant and a coward, insists former Manchester United team-mate Paul Parker: 'He had a self-importance about him'

Paul Parker has launched a stinging attack on former Manchester United team-mate Peter Schmeichel, labelling the legendary goalkeeper 'arrogant' and a 'coward'.

The former right back, who played with Schmeichel at Old Trafford between 1991 and 1996, did not hold back in his criticism during a YouTube interview this week.

In it, he told Stadium Astro: 'Big Pete was a little bit of a coward in certain ways. He was loud, but he wasn't one that was always going to front up all the time. He was a bit of a baby sometimes, he would throw his rattle out of the pram, he would sulk.
