Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has strongly criticized former manager Erik ten Hag for 'stirring the pot' following an interview with The Athletic. Ten Hag had hit out at the club's hierarchy for fostering a 'toxic culture' and claimed he had previously pushed to sign Declan Rice and Harry Kane during his time in charge.
