Former Manchester United goalkeeper Mark Bosnich says Kasper Schmeichel would be a good fit for the club.

The Leicester City shot-stopper, 33, has recently been linked with United, where his father, Peter, enjoyed an illustrious career.

"When he's playing well, he's as good as any goalkeeper in the Premier League. He's won a title with Leicester, he's been very consistent at international level for quite some time as well," Bosnich told Sky Sports. "Obviously, when Leicester were in the Champions League he performed very well.

"We don't know exactly with the David De Gea situation, we saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back him and keep him in the side. There's Dean Henderson as well, but I think that would be a fantastic move for both parties.

"Even if they decide to keep David De Gea, to have someone of the quality of Kasper Schmeichel fighting for a place with De Gea would bring the whole standard up a couple of notches.

"Like I said, when he plays at his best which is more regular than not, Kasper Schmeichel is as good as anyone in the Premier League."
