Speaking to beIN Sports, Hernandez said: “He’s a great defender.

“He didn’t take much time to adapt. He already knew the coach, the automatisms that are expected of him.

“He’s a very pleasant guy. A very, very nice person, a fantastic player.

“Defensively he brings us a lot. ”

Upamecano arrived from the former club of his current manager Julian Nagelsmann for a reported fee of around €42.5m in July.
