Manchester United great Peter Schmeichel says the current team lack leaders after their defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.

The ex-goalkeeper identified Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire, David De Gea, Bruno Fernandes and Victor Lindelof as United's chiefs - but was left unimpressed by them all.

He told BeIN Sports: "We played in a time when everyone was a leader. That has all changed. You don't see as many of those types of people any more.

"But I think [Bruno] Fernandes looks like a leader. Harry [Maguire] is a leader. Of course he's a bit hurt from what he experienced over the summer.

"I know David [De Gea] doesn't look like it, but he's a leader as well. I think from what we saw today as well that it's quite evident that [Victor] Lindelof is a leader.

"I was in Paris for the game against PSG and watching that game up close with no crowd, you can hear people.

"Rashford talks a lot. Marcus came through the academy and he's a young player. But he's challenged the Prime Minister, his petition has got more than 1 million signatures. He's a leader.

"So I'm not saying Manchester United don't have any leaders, but today they didn't step up."
