You’re thinking he's got to be slow because he's so big, but he's lightning quick."Moving into midfield and a couple of long-serving club stalwarts made the cut in Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs. Schmeichel says ex-England international Scholes is the type of player that nobody wanted to play against, while Welsh wizard Giggs is considered  to be “the best Premier League player ever”.Finally, adding a touch of enigmatic brilliance to the front line, Eric Cantona was picked to fill the forward berth. All in all, not a bad side, and one that tells you all you need to know about the calibre of player Schmeichel worked with at United, with there no room for the likes of Gary Neville, Roy Keane, David Beckham and Andy Cole.</blockquote>
