Man Utd great Schmeichel: I'm now known as father of Leicester's Kasper

Manchester United great Peter Schmeichel is proud of son Kasper and his success with Leicester City.

With the Foxes, Schmeichel has won the Premier League and FA Cup.

Schmeichel Snr, formerly of Sporting CP, was speaking at the Web Summit in Lisbon this week.

"What Kasper achieved was thanks to his work, his references and the way he was inspired by other goalkeepers," said Schmeichel Snr.

"The best part now is that he is not known for being Peter Schmeichel's son, I am for being Kasper's father."

He continued: “When Leicester won the Premier League in 2016, it was the most special title for me. One of the most special moments of my life."
