00:00Manchester United have just made a massive announcement, Rulon Amorim is their new manager.

00:06He's only 39, he's never managed outside Portugal. What do you think?

00:10No, first of all, all the best to him. Again, if the people in charge, they took that decision,

00:18it's because they think it's the correct one. So all the best to him and all the best to Man Utd.

00:24Your old friend Ruud van Nistelrooy is in interim charge for this weekend's game. Have you spoken

00:30to him and do you think Chelsea can capitalise on all the upheaval currently going on at United?

00:36I didn't speak with Ruud. I will give him a big hug on Sunday and before the game.

00:43We expected a tough game.

00:47What are your memories of playing with him?

00:49First of all, fantastic guy. Humble, very professional. Unfortunately, I shared with him

00:58time when he was already finished in terms of playing. But even with that, you can see

01:05how good he was. But first of all, the best thing is that we had a very good

01:10group of human beings at that time with Malaga. So it's always nice to remember that kind of moment.
