Ryan Giggs backs "quality" Ethan Ampadu to shine at Sheffield United after signing from Chelsea

Ampadu has established himself as a key player under Giggs for the national team, and will now look to do similar under Chris Wilder at Bramall Lane when United's Premier League season gets underway on Monday evening.

"Ethan has not played enough football in the last two years really, he's had a few injury problems and he's played more for me than his club," Giggs admitted.

"But he's a quality act. The last two games he played at centre-half. He can play in midfield, and he's at a good club with a good manager who plays an interesting system.

"He will probably fit into any of the centre-half positions or midfield. It's up to him to get into the team and stay in the team."
