Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has compared himself to club legend David Beckham.

The Brazilian is hoping to establish himself as worthwhile replacement for Ander Herrera in central midfield after showing glimpses of potential last season.

But Pereira insists he can play anywhere for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, including on Beckham's favoured right-wing.

He told FourFourTwo: "It's my time to step up. I'm ready.

"As a number eight or a number ten. I can play on the right wing like Becks used to play, cut inside and get the early cross in. I have a lot to show."
