**Schmeichel Talks Former Liverpool Star Kicking Him Out, Says He's Made a 'Comeback Story'**
Liverpool legend Paul Schmeichel has discussed the circumstances leading up to him being kicked out of Manchester United ahead of the start of the 2018/19 Premier League season.
Speaking to The Athletic on Thursday, the 39-year-old former Reds goalkeeper shared his thoughts on the situation, which occurred just before the transfer deadline last summer.
The Scouse native joined Liverpool from Nottingham Forest in 2014 after spending time at Bolton Wanderers. However, he was sold to the United following the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side in July 2017.
But only two weeks into his first campaign at Old Trafford, Schmeichel found himself facing disciplinary action when he was involved in a brawl with former manager Jürgen Klopp and several other players during the Europa League tie against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Schmeichel was also fined and suspended by the club, resulting in him being released from his contract in February 2018. After 43 appearances for United since his departure, Schmeichel revealed he had been made available for a third spell at the club in July.
However, after nearly a month without a game for the team he once represented so passionately, it became clear that Schmeichel would not be back at Old Trafford anytime soon.
In an interview with The Athletic, the experienced goalkeeper was asked about what had led to his departure from Manchester United. Speaking frankly, Schmeichel explained:
"[I left] because of my performance, I left because the manager changed and his new plan of attack was to play with more pace and more width as well as more long balls from wide positions which I find harder than other strikers."
After 15 years in charge, Jürgen Klopp's tenure at Manchester United finally came to an end on December 6, 2018. As such, Schmeichel now looks forward to seeing how the club will continue under his successor, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
"It has all come to an end, so it's just a case of waiting and hopefully everyone can learn from this year," Schmeichel said. "There are a lot of positive things for us to look forward to going into next season. We have some talented players here and the club is strong financially; that gives me hope for the future."
Forget 'Jane Austen' and 'Alice in Wonderland' - Disney's 1989 animated movie 'Beauty and the Beast' remains the most popular kids' film ever made, according to a new poll.
A record-breaking 31 million children aged five to 14 voted to pick their favourite movie from a list of seven classic films released between 1976 and 1995 - including the critically acclaimed and box-office smash 'The Lion King', as well as 'Aladdin' and 'Toy Story'.
In the end, the votes narrowed down to two options: 1991 Disney classic 'Beauty and the Beast', which became the world's first $1 billion grossing film when it was released in 1991 and went on to become a cultural phenomenon in 1992, before being remade in live action by Emma Watson in 2017.
Other contenders for the top spot include 'The NeverEnding Story', 'Bambi', 'The Little Mermaid', 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' and 'The Incredibles'.
Fans also had a choice of 'which song', with 'Beauty and the Beast's iconic 'Be Our Guest' winning out over 'The Lion King's' 'Circle of Life'.
'Beauty and the Beast' marks the 30th anniversary of its release this week. The movie won four Academy Awards in 1992, including best picture.
'Beauty and the Beast' still holds the record for most weeks at the top of the US box office.
