Manchester United veteran Christian Eriksen has bemoaned the amount of traveling involved in preseason.
The Danish international and his club teammates were in the United States over the past few weeks.
While they are now back in Manchester to continue preparations for the new season, Eriksen admits the traveling was hectic.
"I think it's been good. There's been a lot of games and too much travelling, to be honest," the midfielder told MUTV.
"It's been nice to see all the fans and to give back to them. I think we played a strong game apart from the result."
Eriksen continued: "It's feeling easier going into the games [with better fitness levels], we're feeling more prepared. It feels good to be playing normal. We expected a tough pre-season, but for me, there's probably been too much traveling around.
"Playing in different places but it has to happen. We've adapted and everyone is happy to go home, I think, but we enjoyed our time here. I think it's been good for me personally, it's about getting confident and minutes. I think the support has been incredible, we've tried to give something back by playing our football."
