David de Gea confirms his Manchester United dressing room role with Erik ten Hag in charge

David de Gea has revealed he uses his experience to help younger players in Manchester United's dressing room.

De Gea has spent more than 11 years at Old Trafford and he was named United's Players' Player of the Year last season after starting in the maximum of the 38 Premier League games, in which he performed consistently between the sticks. The Spaniard has remained as first-choice goalkeeper following Erik ten Hag's appointment and he's even started in every Europa League match this term, which wasn't expected after the signing of Martin Dubravka on loan from Newcastle.

De Gea is now a senior member of the squad and he recently discussed how his role at the club has changed over the years.
