Former Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live about Ruben Amorim becoming Manchester United head coach: “It is a great club and a great job for him to have a good run at it. Maybe he is the right man but time will tell.

“He comes in with a good pedigree and it is a different type of football. It is different to when Jose Mourinho came over and he became that great manager after success in Europe.

“This is a little bit different. The great thing is he has a great club and fanbase behind him. Hopefully he is a big success because I think everyone needs to see Manchester United up there.

“If he can get a tune out of the players then he will do really well.”
