WHAT PETIT SAID
"Ruben Amorim has a clear philosophy and knows exactly what he wants from his players. He has an identity and he wants intelligent players – Christopher Nkunku is one of those," Petit told . "In terms of how he links up with strikers and wingers, he could have a big impact at Old Trafford if Chelsea decide to sell. Looking at the dressing room at Manchester United, he could make a big difference."
