Tbh dont know the whole story. What's that about, behavior and all?
He left United saying he was retiring abroad, for a few years United struggled to find a replacement suitable.
He came back to play for City, although as a player you do what you can to stay at the top, many at United,
thought that was not acceptable for a United hero, especially as he had not really retired, and he was still
good enough to be at United.
I guess its the difference between being a fan of the club and having a job as a professional footballer.
But it wasn't like Tevez, Hargreaves, Cole, etc, Schmeichel had a bigger place in Uniteds recent history, and a bigger
place in the hearts of many United fans, so the sense of betrayal was more deeply felt.
For many United fans it felt like betrayal, although he wasn't the first, Denis Law still loved by United fans, was possibly the
most famous, even scored a goal that ( incorrectly ) many felt relegated United. I think in the modern era Denis Laws
move and the (in)famous goal, would be treated much more harshly by United fans than it was back in 1974
His behaviour when he played for City against United, and city won 3 - 1 was pretty classless, but you could argue that as a City
player he was entitled to celebrate, but as an ex United legend it was not easy for United fans to take, and many lost respect for
him that day.
