Amrabat said: “It was very important because I was very young. I was 18, 19-years-old and he gave me the chance to play in the first-team with Utrecht. We had a fantastic time, a really good season. I learned a lot from him so maybe he’s one of the most important people in my career for now.

“He is a winner and I like that. I think I’m the same, I’m a winner too. I want to win every day, so it’s a good match.”
