The Red Devils coach told beIN sports that the former Napoli coach is equipped to do well.
He also admitted that the Italian did “good work” at Napoli:
“I don’t know him,” he told beIN SPORTS.
“When I was in Italy from 2008-10, he was not in Serie A. I never met him or played against him. I just follow football and lately the good work he did with Napoli.
“In England, all the good managers have the desire to come. It’s a crazy competition with a high level so I think every manager has the dream to come so he had the chance to come.
“He has a fantastic team, fantastic players and squad – I think he has conditions to do good work.”
