Manchester United goalkeeper Joel Pereira has paid tribute to his senior teammates after his winning debut against Crystal Palace.

With David De Gea facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford amid renewed speculation over a move to Real Madrid, Pereira could have an even more important role next season after learning from the Spain international and his No 2 Sergio Romero.

"We have two world-class goalkeepers, and two great people and good friends also," said Pereira. "They always try to help me and to have them as teachers I will say is great.

"They always help me and they make sure I improve all the time and get better each day. They told me (before the Palace game) to be confident, enjoy, play as usual as you do all the time and just be yourself."
