Manchester United interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy says he is ‘convinced’ summer signing Manuel Ugarte will prove to be a ‘great player’ for the club under the guidance of Ruben Amorim.

Ugarte arrived at Old Trafford with weighty expectations on his shoulders following a high-profile £42million move from Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain in August.

Van Nistelrooy feels similarly about Joshua Zirkzee, United’s £36.5m signing from Bologna, despite the Dutchman failing to score since his dramatic debut goal against Fulham way back in mid-August.

‘Josh is similar to Manuel Ugarte’s situation. Josh came in, he’s a young player with a lot of potential,’ Van Nistelrooy said of his fellow countryman.
