Andreas Pereira "very happy" with first Manchester United goal

Manchester United youngster Andreas Pereira has admitted that he was "very happy" to have scored his first senior goal for the club.

The 19-year-old, who recently signed a new contract at Old Trafford, completed the scoring in United's 3-1 pre-season friendly win over the San Jose Earthquakes earlier today.

"I'm very happy that I scored my first goal and we won the game," the Brazil youth international told MUTV.

"I think it's my first one [with my head] so I'm very happy to score my first header."

United's other goals in the International Champions Cup encounter were scored by Juan Mata and new signing Memphis Depay.
