Man Utd midfielder Pereira credits Solskjaer for confidence

Andreas Pereira has credited Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for his personal resurgence at Manchester United.

The 23-year-old has featured far more regularly since Solskjaer arrived in the dugout in December last year.

"For me, [Solskjaer's support] has been massive," he told The Independent.

"It's very important to me that he speaks highly about me and I just want to do my best on the pitch to show the faith back to him. It's very important for the young players to be given this confidence and, then if you have the chance, you have to take it with both hands."
