Paul Scholes admits he is impressed by Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.

The midfield great says he was first unsure of the Portuguese but is now sold after seeing the Red Devils squad take to his larger than life nature.

“He has the stature to be United manager, the reputation and presence," he told the Daily Mail.

“I just wish it had happened three years ago!

“There was concern among my mates who are United fans. Can we cope with his histrionics at other clubs?

“He also had a reputation for being there two or three years then going.

“There were worrying signs. He was sent off twice and had a bit of a go at Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw in public.

“But since then it's been totally different. He's been very impressive."
