Ander Herrera plays "fruit-ball" to keep his skills sharp

With the return of the Premier League still a depressing number of weeks away, Ander Herrera has been taking drastic measures to keep his skills sharp.

Indeed, the Manchester United midfielder has entered a virtual universe full of augmented fruit to make sure his accuracy levels don't dip over the summer.

Honestly, it makes much more sense to just watch the video.

As you see, he went three for three without so much as breaking a sweat.

With focus, accuracy and watermelon-busting technique as sharp as that, it's little wonder that Herrera scooped United's Player of the Season award last season.
