De Gea admits Spanish speakers now dominating at Man Utd

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea admits Spanish is now heard more inside the locker room.

De Gea, Juan Mata and Ander Herrera are among eight Spanish-speaking players in the squad, along with Angel Di Maria, Radamel Falcao, Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo and Victor Valdes.

"The dressing room has changed a lot since I arrived," De Gea admitted to MUTV. "There are a lot of us now who speak Spanish and it's a real pleasure for me to be with them. It makes everything easier.

"It's a language we are all comfortable using, especially the newer arrivals, who still struggle a bit in English.

We all help each other out and it's great to have them here."
