\"\"Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has called on his old club to appoint a director of football and would consider applying for the role if it was advertised.<\/p>\n

Jose Mourinho was sacked as United manager earlier this week and former Red Devils striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was named as caretaker manager until the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n

The club have suggested they will install a director of football and United great Schmeichel is mulling over whether to put himself in the frame.<\/p>\n

He said on the BBC Radio 5 live program Sportsweek: \u201cI\u2019m actually thinking about putting my name in there.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s really important is to get the Manchester United culture back and the identity back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m considering: \u2018Do I have the qualities?\u2019 And if I come up to an answer to that question, then I will put my name in the hat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll have a good think about this over Christmas and New Year and make a decision about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schmeichel won five Premier League titles, three FA Cups and the Champions League during his eight seasons at United.<\/p>\n
