'Adaptable' - Gary Neville names four Manchester United players who will be key for Ruben Amorim

Gary Neville believes Luke Shaw is a "certainty" to become a key figure under Ruben Amorim, insisting those who are "adaptable" will blossom under the new Manchester United head coach.

The England international made his long-awaited comeback from injury in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town at Portman Road, stepping off the bench 11 minutes into the second half.

"I think it's how you fit in the likes of [Marcus] Rashford, [Alejandro] Garnacho, Bruno
