I had a great experience today with my teammates for the first time, they’ve all been very helpful and several of those teammates set out for me in a very simple manner things like where to go, what we are going to do, how things work.“And of course, I have had my first training session today with my teammates and the coach, and the class we had after the training session was very good and helpful also.

So, I feel great.”Munoz took part in his first training session with Liverpool on Wednesday(Image: Getty Images)Explaining how his transfer came about, Munoz added: “Yeah, it was a very quick process. Obviously, when it arose I was out there at the World Cup with the Spain squad so I couldn’t take any time away to come over to Liverpool to set things in stone here.“But obviously I discussed it with my family and straight away there were no doubts that it was a great move for me.

So, I think that fits perfectly with my skill set, these are tools that I as a player also bring to the game, so I think it is a good fit for me and I hope to bring these skills to Liverpool.”
