I would be Manchester United's dream signing - now Ruben Amorim has seen me up close

However, Manchester United stopped him from taking his number of assists for the campaign into double figures at Craven Cottage on Sunday evening.

United secured a dogged 1-0 victory in the capital thanks to a deflected second half effort from Lisandro Martinez. The quality of the goal was a reflection of the quality of the game.
