Schmeichel denies applying for Sheffield United job

The 49-year-old, who completed his Uefa A coaching badge this summer, admits he is flattered to be linked with a move to the League One club

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel insists he has not applied for the vacant manager's job at Sheffield United.



The 49-year-old is reportedly interested in the role after the League One club sacked David Weir after 13 games in charge.



The former Denmark international, who completed his Uefa A coaching badge this summer, admits he is flattered to be linked with a move to Bramall Lane.



“I can see that I've been linked with the vacant manager’s job at Sheffield United,” Schmeichel posted on Twitter.



“This is not my doing, I have not applied for any jobs, but it's great to be associated with such a great football club.”
