Andreas Pereira has insisted that he would get "better and better" at Manchester United if he were given the chance to feature on a regular basis.

Pereira started United's first two Premier League matches of the season, but the Brazil international has fallen out of favour in recent months.

Indeed, his outing against Valencia on Wednesday night was the first time that he had featured for United since the middle of October.

The 22-year-old could not prevent United from falling to a 2-1 defeat at the Mestalla in the Champions League, but he has said that he was pleased to secure some minutes.

"I'm trying to do my best, to keep being involved in and out, each and every week," Pereira told MUTV. "It was good for me to be involved, to get some minutes. It was difficult at the start because of the match rhythm, but I did my best. It was, unluckily, not our night.

"[I was] a little bit rusty but, after a few minutes, it went better and better. But I think each game would get better and better."

Pereira has not even made the matchday squad for a Premier League game since October 20.
