Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel can't see his old club
winning the Quintuple.
Schmeichel admitted to the Mirror: "If my heart was
talking, I would trot out the party line and say United will win
all five, but my experience tells me it is not realistic to expect
a clean sweep.
"People remember the treble in 1999 as if we only had to turn up
to collect three trophies. But on that cup run, we were 1-0 down
against Liverpool going into injury time and we turned it around to
win 2-1.
"And everyone remembers the Champions League Final in Barcelona,
where the same thing happened - but if you take those two matches
away from the treble, we would have won only one trophy that
season.
"To win three, four, five cups in one season, you need
everything to go your way - like Adriano for Inter, hitting the
inside of a post and the ball rebounds to safety. I look back at
1999 and think 'how close did we come to missing out?' More than
once we needed key moments to go our way and it is by no means a
done deal."
