Tottenham Hotspur lost against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.
The United legend believes that Ndombele played well for Tottenham in their Premier League game against United away from home at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening.
The 22-year-old midfielder did not start the match, but the France international came on as a substitute in the 70th minute, as Spurs lost 2-1.
Schmeichel said on Amazon Prime TV (9:39pm, December 4, 2019): “We started thinking ‘hey, this is so anti-Jose’. I expected him to come and park the bus and see what happened and then he puts offensive players, Moura, Son, Alli, Kane, even Sissoko, I’d put him in there.
“We thought, ‘they’re going to come here and attack’ but they didn’t. They were sitting back.
“I think that was the tactic and with how the second half unfolded with Ndombele, he did really well. I think he should have started with him.”
