Andreas Pereira insists new Manchester United teammate Bruno Fernandes can enhance his own game.

Pereira is determined to take his own chances to shine in United's midfield, with a start likely against Club Brugge on Thursday night, and the arrival of Fernandes can assist the other midfielders in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad and add to the competition for places.

"It helps me, it helps the other midfielders and it's important for the team," Pereira said.

"I'm happy I've played a lot of games this season and the manager has faith in me, it's down to me to show it on the pitch and make sure I play more games this season."
