believes Louis van Gaal deserves time to rebuild the team and
help guide the club back to greatness.
The Dutchman has received his fair share of criticism in recent
months following United's conservative approach, with the Old
Trafford side recording five scoreless draws in their last nine
matches.
However, Schmeichel has stressed United made a deliberate
choice to appoint Van Gaal and hand him a three-year deal to
get them back on track after a disappointing season under
David Moyes in the wake of Alex Ferguson's retirement.
"When we picked someone like Van Gaal, who has a very big
ego and personality, we also picked his way of playing football,"
Schmeichel said at a news conference.
"It is clear that for a certain period of time, while he is rebuilding
the team, we have to accept playing in a certain way which
perhaps isn't the Manchester United way.
"The objective of Van Gaal's first season in charge was to get
back into the Champions League and he achieved that. This
season, the goal was to do better and the team are doing
better.
"Although the fans keep asking the team to attack, they
understand that they need to give Van Gaal time."
