Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has told his Spanish-speaking contingent they must be fluent in English.
Van Gaal has organised English lessons for all their new foreign signings.
"You know already that all the Spanish players have lessons in English so we have started already more than two weeks," he says.
"We are only two weeks in this country because we were on the USA and after that we have also international week. But I can speak Spanish so it is better to communicate sometimes on the pitch in Spanish.
"But they shall learn English within one year, I promise."
