Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira was delighted to take part in today's clash with Barcelona at FedEx Field.

United lost 1-0 to Barca at FedEx Field.

“It was a good test, it was good for us in the preparation period and we will definitely use that when the real competitions start," Pereira told MUTV. “Playing against such strong teams works you harder, you get more focus for the games and it is a good test for us, as well as them.

“The games have been getting harder each time and it is good for us, as we have an important match in the Super Cup against Real Madrid next month.

“We are testing ourselves as much as possible. We will definitely use this experience as we have the Champions League to play in this season. Now we know what to do against Barcelona if we play them in that."
