Manchester United defender Paddy McNair is hopeful that he will get more games under his belt by impressing manager Louis van Gaal in training.

The 19-year-old has not featured for the Red Devils since their 2-1 defeat to Swansea City on February 21.

"Every day I'm coming in and trying to impress the manager and all his staff," McNair told MUTV.

"Hopefully I can get as many games as I can towards the end of the season. I'm training with world-class players every day - that's only going to make me better."

McNair made his Northern Ireland debut last week in their 1-0 win over Scotland in a friendly at Hampden Park.
