Ander Herrera says he enjoys the training sessions staged by Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal.
Captain Wayne Rooney recently said training was "more competitive" under Van Gaal and Herrera has echoed the striker's comments.
"I enjoy the sessions the day before a game because we work on ball possession, shooting and set-plays," said the Basque. "It's a good day."
"All the mini matches are important because the coaches are always looking at us before each game.
"We have a very competitive squad - we always want to win in matches or training. I think this is the right tactic because you play like you train."
