Will history repeat itself for the Schmeichels?

As one of Denmark’s historic champions in 1992 and with his son Kasper now a star of the team, Peter Schmeichel is desperate for his homeland to prevail beneath the famous arch at Wembley Stadium.

An excellent team in their own right - ranked 10th in the world - the Danes are determined to beat an England team that features United team-mates Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford, as well as our prospective new signing from Borussia Dortmund Jadon Sancho.

United legend Schmeichel is excited for Wednesday's semi-final and admits he no longer feels nervous about his son being involved in such huge occasions, because he trusts in his proven ability as a top-class goalkeeper.
