"Ronaldo was never ready-made, Wayne Rooney was never ready-made," he said. "Loads of the players that come here and really developed into the top superstars that they have become.

"That's always going to be the model - that we will develop players because I've got the best staff, the best environment.

"And the best supporters because they love players that excite them, that get them off their seats and we hope to get some of them in."
