Man Utd midfielder Pereira desperate to repay Solskjaer support

Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira accepts the team is falling short of standards.

The Belgium-born Brazil ­international has been at Old Trafford long enough to know Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in the midst of a crisis ahead of the game with Arsenal tomorrow.

Pereira said: “The manager has shown a lot of faith in the young players – and I am very proud being one of them.

“I want to carry on repaying that faith and hopefully nail down a spot in the team. ­ Manchester United is the ­biggest club in world. If we get a scoreline like we did at West Ham, the reaction to it is big – but that is normal.

“People will talk about it and will always talk about this club. But we are Man United players and we have to deal with that pressure.

“We have to pick ourselves up. We beat Rochdale and I am sure we will do the same against ­Arsenal."
