Man Utd great Peter Schmeichel marries former Playboy model Laura von Lindholm and couple celebrate with a kiss

MANCHESTER UNITED legend Peter Schmeichel married his long-term partner Laura von Lindholm in Denmark today and celebrated with a big kiss.

The pair had split up two-years ago after beginning their relationship in 2014 - but recently re-coupled and decided to tie the knot.

Laura, 46, a former Playboy model and now nutritionist and actor, wore a white dress as Schmeichel, 55, wore a navy suit with bow tie.

The marriage took place in front of 200 guests at the Egebaeksvang Church in Espergaerde, Copenhagen - four months after they got engaged.

Schmeichel and Bente were married for 31 years before their split in 2013.

He has two children, Kasper and his sister Celcilie, from him marriage to Bente.

The United legend made 398 appearances at Old Trafford, and was part of the 1999 Treble-winning team.

Schmeichel recently defended current United stopper David de Gea - who made a string of howlers towards the end of the season.

He said: "I think everyone who is jumping on that bandwagon, saying 'drop De Gea' and all of that, are so far out of order.

"The guy has been playing in the same team that hasn't been performing well for a long time and he's been absolutely outstanding.

"And as soon as he makes, you know, the smallest mistake, then everyone jumps on him, and I think it's unfair.

"For me, I just want to say this and end it.

"As far as I'm concerned, I think you should have a little bit of consideration towards him, because I think it's out of order.”

Peter Schmeichel is however not the only ex-footballer to have won the heart of a younger partner.

Ian Rush, David Ginola and Brendan Rodgers have also scored with sexy younger Wags.
