Man Utd star David De Gea opens up on Erik ten Hag’s training sessions with keeper poised to sign one-year extension

LONG-TIME Manchester United servant David de Gea has given a fascinating insight into manager Erik ten Hag's training sessions and revealed how players are reacting to them.

The Dutchman, 52, took over at Old Trafford on a long-term contract in the summer.

After a slow start to life under Ten Hag, which included a 2-1 loss to Brighton and a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Brentford, United are well in the hunt for a top-four finish.

United are sat fifth on 26 points and sit three points off fourth-place Tottenham.

First-team goalkeeper De Gea has revealed the attention to detail Ten Hag puts into his training sessions.

The Spaniard, who was denied a World Cup place in Luis Enrique's squad, also lifted the lid on how United's stars are fairing on a day-to-day basis on the training pitch.

Speaking to club media, De Gea said: "I think he has high demands for everyone, there is a lot of information.

"We are used to playing under him because we are learning a lot of new things as a team.

''I think we are enjoying it, we are training really hard with him.

"They are long training sessions, tactics, everything and I think we are heading the right way.

"We are playing really well, as you saw in the last game we showed we can play really well.

"We are winning games and that is the most important thing.''

De Gea - who joined United in 2011 - has less than a year left on his contract at Old Trafford.
