Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Pereira deserved chance against Burnley

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Andreas Pereira deserved his chance for their 2-2 draw with Burnley.

Pereira started for the first time since the FA Cup third-round win against Reading at Old Trafford on 5 January.

“Andreas has been fantastic in training. He really has been determined. He was disappointed with his game against Reading and we had a little chat about it. He's been really working hard and I think he deserves a chance," said United's caretaker boss.

“Ander [Herrera] has been different class but, this time, you know we need to rotate a little bit."
