Speaking in the latest issue of Inside United, our official monthly magazine, the Spaniards admit they've had their eyes set on the Reds' opening game, against Leicester City at Old Trafford on Friday, for some time.
“Of course,” said Herrera. “I am already thinking about 10 August at 8pm. You are thinking about who you are playing, what Leicester will do in the game and about us trying to win the game, and hopefully we can start the season in the best way possible.”
Mata added: “Obviously we think about the tour games but in the back of our heads is the first official game, which is the Premier League game, and we are looking forward to it.
