00:00Manchester United have just made a massive announcement, Rumen Amirim is their new manager,

00:05he's only 39, he's never managed outside Portugal, what do you think?

00:09No, first of all, all the best to him, and again, if the people in charge,

00:16they took that decision, it's because they think it's the correct one,

00:19so all the best to him and all the best to Man United.

00:23And your old friend Ruud van Nistelrooy is in interim charge for this weekend's game,

00:28have you spoken to him and do you think that Chelsea can capitalise on all the upheaval

00:33currently going on at United?

00:35I didn't speak with Ruud, I will give him a big hug on Sunday before the game,

00:41and yeah, we expected a tough game.

00:46What are your memories of playing with him?

00:49First of all, fantastic guy, humble, very professional,

00:54unfortunately I shared with him a time when he was already finished,

01:00but even with that you can see how good he was.

01:05But first of all, the best thing is that we had a very good group of human beings

01:11at that time with Malaga, so it's always nice to remember that kind of moment.
