Man Utd legend Schmeichel: Arsenal too strong for Monaco

Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel expects Arsenal to be too strong for Champions League opponents AS Monaco.

He is backing Arsene Wenger's men to reach the quarter-finals of Europe's elite competition.

Schmeichel told the Daily Star: "You know, you look at it on paper and they should really [progress].

"I played Monaco in the Champions League as well when [Thierry] Henry played for them, so we're going back some years.

"Arsenal should go through but you kind of forget that these guys are actually really, really good. They are a very wealthy club - they can pay any player anything they want. They've got very good players but I still think Arsenal should get through."
