Darren Fletcher expects a competitive preseason at Manchester United.
Fletcher, who returned to the first team last season after a longstanding illness, reckons the squad will have to give everything they have if they want a starting berth under Louis van Gaal come the start of the season.
"Once you get on that pitch it's competitive and you always want to win every game and every tournament you're involved in," he told the club's official site.
"I'm sure the sports science lads will be saying that it's all about minutes and not getting injured but sometimes these games can get feisty. It's what you want as you want to make an impression and impress the fans and the manager because you want to be in the team for the start of the season."
