New Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira has backed Manchester United counterpart and fellow Portuguese Ruben Amorim to be a success in the Premier League ahead of their Boxing Day meeting at Molineux.
Wolves' Pereira era got off to a dream start on Sunday with a crushing 3-0 victory at Leicester in his opening game in charge, thanks to first-half goals from Goncalo Guedes, Rodrigo Gomes and Matheus Cunha.
The Red Devils have been up and down since the arrival of 39-year-old Amorim last month, losing heavily at home to Bournemouth on Sunday following their derby victory over Manchester City.
Pereira acknowledged it took him a while to join the English top flight due to "bad steps" in his career but is now relishing the challenge ahead and the clash with compatriot Amorim, who he thinks will make his mark at United.
"We never played against each other because I am a lot older," 56-year-old Pereira said.
"I took a lot of time to arrive here (in England), because I made maybe bad steps in my career and missed opportunities to come sooner.
"Amorim is the new generation of Portuguese coach with a lot of talent and communication, tactical, strategical talent and I believe he will do a very good work in the Premier League."
