Daley Blind is confident of returning to Manchester United for preseason in good shape.

Blind admits "letting everything go" over the summer.

But he explained: "The club gave me three weeks off and I'm cautious with what I eat and drink. I make sure I'm responsible.

"For me, the summer holidays are about letting everything go and spending quality time with my family and friends. I like to relax on the beach, play some tennis or have a kickabout with my mates.

"My mindset changes so I can recharge my body and mind after a long, hard season. During the last week of my holiday, I started running and stretching to get my body going again.

"I worked out at home or outside, focusing on Pilates. This helps with stability and agility. And I focused on eating healthy food like fruit and veg. Bad food makes you feel lethargic and bloated and who wants to feel like that?"
