Earlier this month, The Sun revealed that Manchester United are targeting the 29-year-old – son of Red Devils legend Peter Schmeichel – as a potential replacement for David De Gea, should Real Madrid revive their long-term interest in the Spain goalkeeper.

Mirror Football report that the King Power Stadium outfit will not let the 6 foot 1 shot-stopper leave the club under any circumstances this month.
