Reds youngster Lee Martin is revelling in the opportunity to play alongside United's first-team players in pre-season.
The 19-year-old midfielder, who has appeared against Celtic and Preston so far this summer, procuded an impressive display against Macclesfield Town on Monday night alongside Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Edwin van der Sar.
"It's a great experience getting to play with players like Rooney, Rio and van der Sar. It's unbelievable," he told MUTV. "Getting to play with first-team players is always a good experience for young players."
The lively winger made his United debut last season in the Carling Cup against Barnet, and is eager for more first-team opportunities this season. Martin missed out on the chance to go on United's South Africa tour, but he wasn't disheartened.
"If I'm honest I was disappointed not to make the South Africa squad," he said. "But it's down to me to prove that I can be part of the first-team squad.
"I just have to keep playing my football and keep improving. It's not down to me to make the decisions on the team so all I can do is focus on playing as well as I can."
