Andreas Pereira responds to Man United axe

Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira comes out firing after being left out of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 18-man squad for the 1-0 win at Leicester City.

Andreas Pereira has vowed to "never give up" on making it at Manchester United after being left out of the squad to face Leicester City on Sunday.

The Brazilian midfielder failed to impress on his first Premier League start under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the 2-2 draw with Burnley in midweek.

Pereira paid the price by losing his place both in the starting lineup and on the bench for the trip to the King Power Stadium, but the 23-year-old has come out firing.

Everyone falls, but only the weak stay on the ground... Dream, never give up... Have faith, because it's never easy and will never be!

In a post on Instagram a day before United's 1-0 win at Leicester, Pereira wrote: "Everyone falls, but only the weak stay on the ground... Dream, never give up... Have faith, because it's never easy and will never be!"

Pereira has been used seven times in the Premier League this season and featured a further three times in other competitions.
