Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has paid tribute to former U23 coach Warren Joyce.

Joyce is now working in Australia as Melbourne City coach.

Pereira told manutd.com: “I played a lot in that team with Adnan [Januzaj] because I was close friends with him and the manager Warren Joyce helped me a lot. It was very good for me to learn from those kinds of players who were playing with me, and especially Warren Joyce because he helped me a lot.

"It was different types of things that I wasn't used to, especially like running a lot and he made me very strong mentally, so I'm very thankful [to him]."
