Chelsea midfielder Dario Essugo has revealed Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim influenced his career as he looks to emulate N'Golo Kante, Michael Essien and Claude Makelele at Stamford Bridge.
The 20-year-old made his debut in the Club World Cup win over Los Angeles FC and is set for a role in Enzo Maresca's squad following his £18.5m move from Sporting.
Essugo made his debut in Portugal aged just 16 and six days old, becoming the youngest player to play for Sporting, while also becoming the youngest Portuguese player to play in the Champions League that same season.
