"The players that I most enjoyed [coaching] were the ones that gave me everything. Everything.
"And there are dozens and dozens and dozens, and maybe they aren't the most talented ones, just the ones that gave everything.
"The ones that I felt they couldn't give anything more than what they gave, these are my players.
"Then if you want to, kind of, preferred… I don't want to be unfair to people and I will be unfair but when you play a kid, the kid becomes your kid for life. That is always my feeling.
"So I look to Raphael Varane [at Real Madrid] now at the end of his career, he is my kid. When I look to Scott McTominay, [Paul] Pogba on the bench, play Scott McTominay in Champions League against Sevilla, he is my boy.
"When I go club to club, I find my boys and they are always going to be my boys."
