Schmeichel: "We've had two really really successful periods in our history, by doing exactly the same thing. I'm not talking personnel that there's one strong manager...it was what was being done. Building from within, building within a certain framework or culture, have a certain environment - We (him and Ashley Young) have both been in that environment, we know exactly what its like and what its supposed to be as well. Now, we (Manchester United) don't do that (at present). We have people, who openly, in their playing careers, hated Manchester United. Playing for clubs that were enemies of Manchester United. With very little experience, all of a sudden they're in decision making jobs at Manchester United.

Well I think he's (Jason Wilcox) is one of them. I just dont understand why he's there. I mean when he played for Leeds you know...you're supposed to hate Manchester United. He hated Man United. Well obviously with Blackburn as well that year, they won the Championship that year and beat us to it in the last round (of games). Jim (Ratcliffe) has brought Omar, from Manchester City. Now HE brings Jason Wilcox, he brings the guy who is head of the academy from Manchester City...We're not Manchester City. We're Manchester United. This is why I talk about history and culture, and tradition - there's a certain way of being Manchester United. If you haven't been in there before, you don't know what it is."

China had completely missed this video until Monday, October 26, when it was dug up by the Chinese football-focused website Dongqiudi, which warned that Kylian Mbappé had made offensive remarks about the Chinese people, without actually airing the remarks. In the video, he is asked a question referencing viral memes from the 2026 World Cup showing the French international dressed up as a dictator. “Which meme featuring your face made you laugh the most?” asks Aurélien Tchouaméni. The forward replies: “The one that made me laugh the most was when they posted a video of a guy, I think he’s a Chinese dictator. [...] I use it a lot with my friends online, for PlayStation.”
