Schmeichel praise for Keegan

"He prides himself on knowing his players, finding out everything about them, so that he can work with them individually and get the best out of them,," the former City keeper told football magazine, four-four-two.

"He's the one manager who will take in big names with a bit of trouble about them and get something out of them. He is so good at that.

"The thing is you can't argue with him, he's done everything in the game.

"He was twice the best player in Europe and he has a cabinet full of trophies and medals. You better listen to him."
