Andreas Pereira says it is now time for him to ‘kick on and play better’ for Manchester United after a mixed start to his life as a senior player.

The 24-year-old is eager to push on with his development at Old Trafford and admits he is yet to fulfil his true potential playing at the club.

“I don’t think I’ve shown my full potential yet,” Pereira told ESPN.

“When I’m playing more freely, I can show my real quality. This season, I really feel that the manager and the players can trust me to do my best for the team. I’m there. I will never hide. I will always show my face for the manager and for the club. It’s really a year for me to show that I’m here and now it’s time to kick on and play better.”
