The former Sporting boss hopes to start his reign on a positive note by beating Ipswich, who will be full of confidence after defeating Tottenham before the international break.

“Then you will adapt to the players you have, some injuries or no injuries, what kind of players have the abilities to defend, to attack, I will find out that in the next few weeks.

“We don’t have much time to practice, so I have to show something I know very well. You can take from it what you want.”

Chelsea this was experienced under Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel. The system brought them immediate success, but they were both discovered the following season. It will be like this for Manchester United.

“He will bring his own ideas and I think they will work very well at first because he knows the system, but Premier League teams are not stupid. They will learn quickly and find where the weaknesses are. »
