Former Manchester United no.1 Peter Schmeichel is not a fan of Arsenal signing David Raya.

The giant Dane, who won the Champions League with United in 1999, does not believe having two competing no.1 keepers is wise.

He feels that by signing David Raya on an initial loan from Brentford, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is undermining shot stopper Aaron Ramsdale.

“I absolutely do not get it," Schmeichel told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“I cannot understand how a manager can come to the conclusion that it's a great thing to have competition for the No 1 shirt.

“A goalkeeper's position is very reactive. You cannot create anything on your own, you have to wait for things to happen.

“You're now asking your goalkeeper to prove you're better than the other one. That means you now have to go and do stuff, and you don't want that. It's the one position on the pitch where you just want steady.

“When you have a competition situation he also plays that game for himself and for that position, and I don't get it.

“What you do is you put a lot of insecurity into the two of them."
