Man Utd legend Schmeichel: They played like champions at Swansea

Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel was delighted with their opening day win at Swansea City.

Schmeichel feels the 4-1 victory can set the tone for United's season.

"That first game I knew was going to set the tone and we went there and won 4-1 in emphatic style and answered a lot of questions that have been asked of Manchester United for the past three months," the United legend told talkSPORT.

"Man United looked really solid. There is a lot of strength in depth and a lot of young players coming through the ranks.

"We are hearing that one or two more players might still be added to the squad, but it is a squad of players that won the championship by 11 points only three months ago, so they have got that experience now and they will be much, much stronger this year."
