Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira was delighted with victory at Burnley.

The win meant United closed the gap on Chelsea, at least temporarily before Frank Lampard's side play Arsenal on Sunday, to one point and has given the squad a huge confidence boost.

"Confidence is really high," Pereira told MUTV. "We have to keep going, stay humble and work hard. We have to keep this momentum going and hopefully on New Year's Day, my birthday, we can get the win.

"We knew it was going to be a difficult game, a difficult stadium here, and it's important after victory against Newcastle we wanted to keep going and it was a good test and we did well.

"We know they play very direct and in the air. It's very tough to play here, but we showed great mentality and when we had the ball we put it down and we played well."
