Manchester United veteran Juan Mata says he's happy in a senior leadership role.

Mata is now among the oldest players in the squad.

He told the Official Manchester United Podcast: “I would enjoy it more to be 20 years old. I think it's good because it makes you see football in a different way with more perspective and of course with more experience.

"I feel young, honestly, in my body and in my mind. But obviously I have being playing in a club, and in English football and professionally for 12, 13 years now. So that gives me experience, especially in difficult situations, to behave in a certain way or give advice to the young players.

“I think he (Ole) values that also. Me as a player, what I can give on the pitch, but also that I will try my best off the pitch for the new players that come, like right now Bruno and Odion and for the youngsters that come through the Academy like, Brandon, Chongy, Angel and Jimmy."
