# Pereira: “I’m learning everyday”

Andreas Pereira says he is learning every day at Manchester United and has praised the club for helping him mature both as a player and person.

Speaking to [United Review](https://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2015/Oct/andreas-pereira-grateful-for-manchester-united-education.aspx) ahead of the Reds’ Capital One Cup fourth-round tie against Middlesbrough, the midfielder also credited PSV Eindhoven, where he spent nine years before joining United, for his development, saying:

> PSV helped me a lot when I was young and United have helped make me the player I am today. They gave me everything that I had to learn and I’m learning every day here.
>
> At United, they teach me about things off the pitch as well, how to deal with stuff with your family and how to be a man. That part is very important, not just the football side but off the pitch as well. PSV helped me a lot with that too.

> Of course, it’s good to work with the manager here. He’ll bring you into the team if you do well and train well. I have a trust with him and it’s a nice feeling to work with someone who will give you the opportunity. If you do something wrong, he will tell you and, if you do something right, he will tell you. He helps you with everything.

If he gets the nod, the youngster would like to be on set-piece duty:

> If a free-kick appears and you’ve been practising, you sometimes have a feeling you will score. You feel confident and it’s a very good feeling when the ball goes in. I spend a lot of time practising them, but I also try to improve everything, not especially one thing. I practise my free-kicks, my shooting, my dribbling – everything.

> I hope I get another opportunity \[on Wednesday\] and I hope I can show the manager and impress everyone in the stadium and my team-mates.
