“It was a good performance. I think we did better than in the last game against QPR. We are improving and that's what we do; we have to focus, keep our head down and play better each game before the start of the season.
“We're training very hard. Training has been very good. As you can see, we're improving, players are coming back in. We have a good mixture with the young guys as well.
“We just have to keep our heads down, train a lot, listen to the manager and everything will be fine. I enjoy it – training is good and it's fun to be back in Manchester, I'm enjoying every day.”
