Andreas Pereira is prepared to establish himself under Jose Mourinho, and the Manchester United forwarder is looking forward to the club's pre-season tour of China this summer.
"I have been to China once before and it'll be nice to visit again and play in front of the fans. You can see that football is a huge part of the culture there and it is very nice to see such passion," he said.

The 20-year-old footballer had a successful trip in the United States last summer where he impressed fans by scoring in a friendly match against San Jose Earthquakes.
Despite struggling to get a shot under Louis van Gaal, Pereira is positive he will have more game-time opportunities under Mourinho.
The athlete, who is expected to take part at the Rio Olympics in Brazil, told ManUtd.com "It was a very good first pre-season with the team for me... I learnt a lot, but mostly that you have to respect your club always in the best way, both on and off the pitch, and that you must always be professional."
"The goal was really special, but for me just being with the team and seeing all our fans was great," he added.
United are scheduled to go against Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City in the International Champions Cup in China on July 22 and 25, respectively.
