The legendary goalkeeper played in the Red Devils side that won the Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League in 1999, but feels Pep Guardiola's side are currently playing 'the best football he has ever seen.' Schmeichel made 56 appearances for the Red Devils that season, as United completed what was at that point the only treble in English football. After winning the league and FA Cup, City are a win away from matching the achievement, and the 59-year-old felt they were deserving of the honour. 'Man City have been playing so well this season and actually having the chance, one more win away from that, has brought all that back', he said 'I can't remember having talked about it [the 1999 treble] as much as I have in the last two weeks. And if it's broken by Manchester City you just have to hold your hands up because they have been absolutely fantastic this year. 'They have played the best football. Only going back to the semifinal at the Etihad, the first 45 minutes are probably the best half of football I have ever seen. It will be well deserved. But they've got to go past Inter Milan which is no easy task.' More to follow. Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
