De Gea: Ferguson is like a father

David De Gea has revealed the similarities between Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and Spain Coach Vicente Del Bosque.

The goalkeeper has been called up to the senior squad from the under-21's, and the 22-year-old has claimed that his Coaches at club and international level are very similar.

“They are two great Coaches,” he told AS. “Everyone has their own thing, but yes, they are both very paternalistic.

“I know a little more about Ferguson and he is like a father, especially to all the young players.”

The former Atletico Madrid man then commented on his future at the Premier League club.

“I have three years left on my contract and the truth is I am very happy there.

“It is a great club and when you're there. You realise how big it is.”
