Amorim is coming in to replace the sacked Erik ten Hag, with interim Ruud van Nistelrooy currently in charge.

"My teammates have asked a lot about him," Ugarte told DAZN.

"What surprised them was his age. He's also very hungry to win and that's very important. I can tell he'll enjoy it.

"I saw that Sporting fans were upset and that's understandable, because the coach is a great coach.

"It's good for United, we have to take advantage of it and get him to convey his ideas as quickly as possible.

"I think it's going to be a different dynamic and the day-to-day will be similar to Sporting's.

"The league, the country, the football... It's a big challenge for him but we all know he has the ability."
