Free agent Guiseppe Rossi has lauded the family atmosphere at Manchester United.

The Italian graduated from United's academy before being sold to Villarreal in 2007.

Rossi has been invited to train with the club to keep fit before finding a new club and he says he has been loving the experience.

"This just shows you how much of a family Manchester United is," Rossi said. "They have always taken care of their players.

"It's a real privilege to have this opportunity and be given this opportunity. It feels really good.

"When I heard about this opportunity it just brought so much joy.

"It's great to be playing with these exceptional players that I've been training with. It's helping me stay fit and stay sharp because if you're not sharp they'll definitely be on you.

"I make sure that I'm doing the best I can to better myself but also to help the team do the right things in training."
