Ramsay told PA Sport: "He is obviously incredibly focused, has real conviction as to how he wants the team to play, how he feels the group should be managed, as you'd expect of anyone who hits that level as a manager.
"Obviously, he's had some difficult circumstances to deal with this year, so hopefully once that gets cleaned up then we're going to see the trajectory recaptured that we saw last year."
He also said: "Personally, I felt like this opportunity from my individual perspective was one that I couldn't turn down in spite of all that positivity around the club.
"To have the opportunity to be one step removed from three managers and Michael Carrick, working at Man United over two-and-a-half years, I don't think you're getting better preparation for your own role as head coach because it's a really trying set of circumstances with a lot of intensity."
