Sammy Mac was bought by Busby, his last signing
 
Yeah it’s very 50/50. I just felt VDS made fewer mistakes
Both quality keepers. You might be right when it comes to obvious errors. Schmeichel was much more of a match winner though. Easily the better shot stopper and a real leader. In this era he would have had to improve on the ball, but aside from that, he was basically a better version of what Alison is currently.
