Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic admits he encourages his young teammates to be their own man.
But he does not see himself as a direct role model.
"When I was young I just tried to, let's say, copy the older players - how they work and how they were as professionals," he said.
"(But) we are all different, you cannot try to do what the other players do because one player has one quality and you might have another.
"I think the young players just need freedom, you don't need to put extra pressure on them because they feel the pressure when they're on the pitch playing for Manchester United.
"They have enough pressure, so you have to try to release them a little bit and then they can show all their quality."
