Peter Schmeichel left scrambling for cover as Man Utd sprinklers soak pundits

Peter Schmeichel was left scrambling for cover as the Manchester United sprinklers wreaked havoc before their 3-0 derby defeat.

It was a bad day for everyone connected with the Red Devils on Sunday (October 29) as their neighbours Man City claimed a comfortable victory at Old Trafford thanks to a penalty and header from Erling Haaland and a tap-in by Phil Foden.

But especially so for club ambassador Schmeichel, who was given a pre-match soaking on the sidelines while working as a pundit for Malaysian TV channel Stadium Astro. He'd been discussing the late great Sir Bobby Charlton at the time.

"He took part in the whole rebuild of Manchester United, with Jimmy Murphy and of course Sir Matt [Busby] who survived as well, and then only eight years later he won the World Cup, he was the best player in the world at the time," said Schmeichel.

"They win the championship here in England the next year – and now we're getting wet," he then added, with the sprinklers having rotated around to their position as he was talking. Presenter Michelle Lee echoed: "Ooo we are getting rained on a little bit."

Her and Schmeichel appeared to escape just in the nick of time, but their colleague Danny Mills wasn't so fortunate – getting covered despite fleeing the scene.

The final member of the panel, Tom Cleverley, pulled off a well-timed duck to avoid most of the showering and managed to stay in position like a true professional.

Schmeichel later slammed the VAR-assisted decision to award City a first-half spot kick as a "joke", before later insisting Erik ten Hag "definitely has a future" at the club despite their struggles so far this season.
