First thing that springs to mind it that Schmeichel must have a bit of inside information here. Very specific rant, that. Then again, I do find it a bit odd if he's actually doing his job as United ambassador, as in: calling out (albeit anonymously) players in an interview with the full blessing of the club.
Doesn't strike me as an Ole era thing, really. Seems to me that Ole (personally, at least) prefers to handle things quietly and behind closed doors. He'd rather give the impression that certain players are rated highly (working hard, being professional, etc.) - and then ship them out when a deal is in place.
