Now he believes that Amorim is ready to take on the challenge of rejuvenating a sleeping giant in United.

"Ruben became a very good friend," Roncatto, now 38, told The Express.

"He took me on like a brother. We would go and eat together, he showed me around Lisbon.

“Ruben was an amazing team-mate at Belenenses - not only with me but the rest of the players too. He's a good guy, always smiling."
