"It's already there [his influence at Man Utd]. He's already there. All the patterns, he's started to do it. How good the movement is with the runners and the pace, everyone is doing it.

"He will do a good job, I'm pretty sure of that."

"I'm sure it will [the 4-1 defeat against Sporting, have an impact], like the game we won 5-0 against Sporting a couple of seasons ago [jokes]. From there, we will have lessons too. I would like to play the game like we did in Lisbon on Sunday - believe me."
