"we have now come away from the inspiration of getting two in midfield and letting them do the whole thing - one take a seat and one go forward and vice-versa - and that i believe he can do that for United. I suppose they might play with two, in the greater games they are going to have got to tweak it somewhat bit but he'll bring physicality and he can ranking pursuits, run past the Ibra's and the Rooney's and he is grown up playing in England so it won't be a challenge to him.

"He might be a Roy Keane, Bryan Robson or Steven Gerrard, anybody who can do the whole lot. We get too hung up on 'he is a sitting midfielder or he is an attacking midfielder' but why are not able to a midfielder do the whole thing? That is what they are supposed to do.

"I believe the biggest praise i can provide him is that I used to be staring at that recreation and watching Paul Pogba and that i wasn't thinking of £89m. I used to be simply considering of a participant having fun with himself and making an attempt matters and expressing himself and as the game went on, yes often things won't come off, but he's trying matters and he is releasing himself, he is in every single place the pitch, he needs to get on the ball and it was once a high-quality, exceptional efficiency while you take into consideration he's best informed for every week, the cost tag and he is still best 23.

"he is received the league for the last four years and he is been at a prime club, let's now not put out of your mind that. If he maintains enjoying like that, like I said the cost tag will not be recounted."
