Keeper de Gea reveals Man Utd players undertaking extra practise

Manchester United keeper David de Gea has revealed the players are determined to their season back on track by staying behind for extra training. The Spaniard told the club's official website: "We frequently stay after training to practice crossing and finishing.

"We do it especially when there are no matches in the following days and I think the extra training helps me and the other players to improve."

De Gea has teamed up with striker Javier Hernandez to try to improve each other.

He added: "We help each other - he tries to make it difficult for me and I try to make it difficult for him.

"We always do our best and he's a player who gives his all in training.

"He is one of the most professional players I have known over the course of my career. He is truly a great player and a good friend."
