Raul Jimenez has made a bright start to life at Wolverhampton Wanderers since moving this summer.

Raul Jimenez of Mexico looks on during the International Friendly match between Mexico v Scotland at Estadio Azteca on June 2, 2018 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Raul Jimenez has told the Express and Star that he has been very impressed by Wolverhampton Wanderers boss, Nuno, since moving to Molineux.

Jimenez has joined Wolves on loan from Benfica for the season, and the attacker has made a very bright start to life in the Premier League.

The target-man has taken no time to adapt to life in England, and Jimenez feels that part of the reason why he has settled so quickly is down to Nuno’s management.

“I think he is a great coach,” Jimenez said.

“When we are training, he tries to make us understand all the things he wants us to do on the pitch and sometimes he talks with me.

“I have to be on the middle taking care of the defensive process and then like a striker I have to score goals.”

Jimenez scored in Wolves’ most recent victory, which came against Burnley last weekend.

The striker finished well from inside the box, as he helped Wolves’ continue their impressive start to the campaign.

Wolves face one of their toughest challenges yet at the weekend, as they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Jimenez looks likely to start, and Nuno’s side will be relying on him holding the ball up well, if they are to get anything out of the contest.
