EPL: I’m big fan, he reminds me of Man Utd legend – Rooney hails Arsenal star

Former England international, Wayne Rooney has hailed Arsenal goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale, saying that the Gunners shot-stopper reminds him of Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel.

Rooney said he is a big fan of Ramsdale who has been a crucial figure for Arsenal, especially during their recent shaky defensive period.

Writing in The Times (via Evening Standard), Rooney said:

“I am a big fan of Aaron Ramsdale. Despite his slip-up against Southampton, he has made a number of fantastic saves and played with a huge presence.

“He reminds me of Peter Schmeichel. Obviously, Ramsdale has to keep improving to get near [Peter] Schmeichel’s levels, but the whole package makes him the closest thing I have seen for a long time to the Great Dane.”
