Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel admits his father's success almost turned him off the game.

Schmeichel revealed growing up watching his talismanic father, Peter Schmeichel, play in that iconic Manchester United side of the Nineties often left him feeling overawed.

He said, "There was a point in my life where I had enough of football.

"Football was so over-awing, so intense, just everything in your life. You couldn't go anywhere, really, with my dad and the circus around football became too much for me at a young age.

"I fell back in love with it probably around 13-14. It was much to do with the camaraderie, the team-work and being part of a team. Training every day — I loved everything about that."
