The Reds are already on their second manager since Jurgen Klopp’s exit, and just as United have struggled to replace Sir Alex Ferguson, Liverpool cannot seem to evoke the spirit that left along with their legendary former manager.Thankfully, what they have been able to do has been to consistently outclass United in the transfer market. Jacquet has gone on to be a sensation at Anfield, with Red Devils’ legend Peter Schmeichel now claiming that he wished the Frenchman had joined Man United instead.Alisson and Virgil van Dijk have made costly mistakes in recent weeks.

All of that has left Schmeichel yearning for a change, and, as he told CBS Sports Golazo, Jacquet would have been one who he tried to sign for Michael Carrick’s team.

We saw one gone to Liverpool, Jacquet. “I thought that Van Hecke, who left Brighton to go to Tottenham, should have been someone that we should have looked at.” With Jacquet fully settled and shining at Liverpool already, Schmeichel’s dreams will now never become reality.
