Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira was floating after his goal in their 3-2 win over Southampton.

The 23-year-old also provided an assist for one of Romelu Lukaku's strikes and was praised by caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who feels he has found the right position for the Academy graduate, in a more advanced role than the no.6.

"It's my best day," he told MUTV afterwards. “My first Premier League goal, and in a difficult game, so I'm very happy.

“There were a lot of beautiful goals, I think it was a difficult day for the goalkeepers.

“When I received the ball, I saw Luke [Shaw] coming on my left and I was going to give him the ball but it was so nicely on my right foot, I thought I would shoot. I'd been practicing in training yesterday with Granty [Lee Grant] and it gave me a lot of confidence as I put four in the top corner from exactly the same range. So, today, I had a good feeling and I went for it.

“It's amazing [to score a goal like that at the Stretford End]. You feel a lot of emotions and I'm very happy and hopefully there will be many more to come."
