WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER

"This season we've got to make a really good start in terms of the unity of the whole club, which includes the players, supporters and all of my staff," said the United boss.

"It's great news that Rio has agreed a contract. The reality of negotiations today is that they take time. But these have always been conducted in a good spirit and we are very pleased with the outcome. We can now look forward to the future."
