The Man Utd boss said: "We need to have a great connection. "I was so lucky to work with Hugo. It’s not exactly the same but is more or less the same relationship with Jason, so in that department I’m completely relaxed.

He told PokerScout : "Hugo Etikite has been linked to Manchester United and he is brilliant. "Obviously Manchester City took his partner in crime in Omar Marmoush, they linked up so well together.
"But Etikite has everything, he’s good on the ball, he’s quick, he’s tall, he is one of the best, if not the best striker in the Bundesliga at the moment. "He is very young and has improved his all round game, he is leading the Frankfurt attack and showing he is a brilliant player."

Didi Hamann told PokerScout : "I was surprised that nobody signed Jeremie Frimpong last summer for around £40million, there was an option and nobody took it, but he is a brilliant player. "He has lots of pace, he scores and sets up goals, he is a very modern player and he would do a great job in the Premier League. "He is more of a wing-back than a full-back, but he would be a great player for Liverpool to have, he’d give another option outside of Mohamed Salah who likes to cut in on his left foot.
"Every team needs pace and he has certainly got it, he would be a good option for Liverpool if Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves."
