"Training is really good. It's a very pleasant environment to work in." Speaking to the Dutch television station NOS, Van Persie claims that he has become a better player since leaving the Emirates for Old Trafford.
"Every day I work on new things," Van Persie said. "I become alert to small details that make me better. I go into work every day whistling. From the first day, they have made me feel welcome, the boys made me feel right at home.
"I feel better and fitter. In the last week, I played Wednesday and Saturday. In those games I played with ease." Van Persie, due to play for Holland against Italy in Amsterdam on Wednesday night, has described next week's Champions League clash against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu as the 'icing of the cake' of his season so far at United.
Real could be boosted by the return of Portuguese defender Pepe for the last 16 first-leg tie, with the centre-half returning to training last Friday following ankle surgery last month.
Pepe has been told he must prove his fitness in time for this weekend's clash with Sevilla in order to be considered for the United game.
