John Bennett is joined by Guillem Balague, James Horncastle and Rafa Honigstein. How good a fit is Ruben Amorim to Manchester United, and how good are Barcelona?

The Sporting Lisbon boss looks set to complete his move to Manchester, but will he be able to emulate his success in Portugal in the Premier League?
