| Andreas Pereira asked Cristiano Ronaldo for advice at Manchester United |
ANDREAS PEREIRA has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo told him to be 'relentless' in order to succeed at Manchester United.
The 19-year-old is one of the brightest young talents at United and has been handed opportunities by Louis van Gaal this season.
He has made two Capital One Cup appearances and was given his Champions League debut against Wofsburg in September.
However, he's not content to rest on his laurels and has asked Ronaldo for advice on how to make a big impact at Old Trafford.
“I’m a Cristiano Ronaldo fan and once I got to talk to him. He told me to grow in Manchester, to train very hard, to be relentless," he said.
"That was the advice he gave to me. Training every day, sometimes even on off days."
The Brazil U20 international penned a new three-year contract with the Red Devils last season and he's admitted he's eyeing the first-team squad.
“My goal is to stay here, to try and win my place at United," he added.
"But if I happen to have the option to go out on loan and do what Januzaj is doing and gain experience in another team, no problem, I will.
"I’m working hard, giving my best. I’m waiting for the right moment. I have to be patient.

“United are a massive club and to be part of it is an honour. The Premier League is very competitive, the English are very passionate about football.
"It’s a challenge to be here, and today I am more adapted to the style. My background is in Dutch football.
"Between ourselves [Van Gaal] we speak Dutch. I think it helps. But I’m a fighter and maybe he likes that profile.”
