Louis van Gaal has told his players they must only speak to each other in English, Juan Mata has revealed.
Van Gaal has laid down a few rules since taking over at Manchester United.
The Dutchman has reminded his players they must fulfil their media duties and has told the United board that next year's pre-season tour must be shorter.
And now it has emerged that Van Gaal has instructed his squad to speak to one another in English, presumably to improve unity in the ranks.
'We (the squad) only speak in English,' Mata said.
'He (Van Gaal) says we have to speak in English.'
Mata, who is perfectly fluent in English having arrived in the UK three years ago, does not see the new rule, or any other laid down by the new manager, as harsh.
In fact, the Spaniard has a deep respect for his new club manager, and is fully behind everything he is doing at Old Trafford.
'He is very good on and off the pitch. He is a good man and a great manager,' Mata said.
'He has a lot of experience, he has won trophies in previous teams too, so it's a good chance for me to learn from him and for us to improve as a team.
