    TIM HOWARD admits he idolised Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel.




    Now he is ready to take his place as Old Traffordõ?Ts new goalkeeping hero after just three inspirational pre-season displays.

    American Howard studied Schmeichelõ?Ts style as he grew up in an attempt to emulate the great Dane.

    Howardõ?Ts reflexes helped United win their first Community Shield in five attempts after a penalty shootout in Cardiff on Sunday.

    Now the 24-year-old cannot wait for the start of the new Premiership season.

    He said: õ?oThroughout the 1990s Peter Schmeichel was the man in European soccer. You just recall that big, bright green shirt.

    õ?oHe did so many great things at United that you cannot help but idolise him.

    õ?oOne thing I learned from studying Peter was that it is not always about the prettiest saves õ?" the only thing that matters is keeping the ball out of the back of the net.

    õ?oAs long as you get your body in front of the ball you have done the business and thatõ?Ts what I try to do.õ?

    But Howard does not want to be compared with Schmeichel õ?" because he believes it would only add extra pressure.

    He added: õ?oI will pick from Peterõ?Ts game and his qualities, as I already have tried, and combine them with mine. And if I can do that it would be great.




    õ?oBut in terms of being him then it is impossible. I can only be myself and take it to another level.

    õ?oItõ?Ts flattering to be compared to him but comparisons to someone like Schmeichel can be dangerous.õ?

    They will surely continue to come if he consistently puts together the form he has shown throughout the pre-season.

    He showed his top form on Sunday not only to deny Sylvain Wiltord in the last minute of normal time but both Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Robert Pires in the shootout. In both instances he seemed totally unfazed.


    Howard said: õ?oI didnõ?Tt feel much pressure. I just felt really competitive õ?" it was me against him and I came off best.

    õ?oIt was a great way to start.õ?

    The atmosphere at Cardiffõ?Ts Millennium Stadium, despite Arsenal not taking up 10,000 of their quota of tickets, also inspired Howard.

    Boss Alex Ferguson threw his new buy into the spotlight to test his nerve and he came through.

    In fact, it has left him desperate to start the new season against Bolton at Old Trafford on Saturday.

    Howard added: õ?oIt was a brilliant atmosphere and I could really get used to that.

    õ?oIt was my first winnerõ?Ts medal and I hope there will be plenty more. It was very exciting.

    õ?oI know from this game the standard of football in the Premiership is going to be very high but Iõ?Tm up for that.

    õ?oIt was one of the challenges of coming here.õ?

    Six seasons with New York Metro Stars could seem like a kids kick-about once he has faced the cream of English football.

    But already against Juventus, Barcelona and now Arsenal he has shown he is more than equal to the most talented of teams.

    Ferguson will start the season with Howard, having virtually consigned French World Cup winner Fabien Barthez to history while Roy Carroll and Ricardo will only ever be back-up choices.

    The boss has been surprised at just how good Howard is having initially spent Ê2.3million on him on the strong recommendation of United goalkeeping coach Tony Coton.

    Fergie was certainly raving about him after the Community Shield and even forgave him for Thierry Henryõ?Ts 35-yard free-kick equaliser.

    He said: õ?oTim was excellent õ?" I am very, very pleased with him.

    õ?oHenryõ?Ts free-kick was exceptional but Timõ?Ts general performance was strong and confident. His last penalty save was very, very good.

    õ?oThere is always evidence in performances like that õ?" he has a major chance.õ?
