“It will be exciting to Ronny because he loves United. I hope that the emotion can take over him,” the French full-back told Inside United.
“That will be perfect for us. We must not poke him before the game because when he is angry he is at his best.
“So we’ll be fine. We can say, ‘Welcome home, Ronny. It’s great to have you back, we love you. You’re the best player!’ We can kill him with our love.
“I hope he receives a standing ovation at Old Trafford because what he did for United was amazing. I miss him too.”
