Earlier it was reported that Flamengo will pay half of his salary but then United decreased their demand. The Brazilian club will now pay a small part of his salary. Andreas Pereira attracted interests of different clubs like Everton and Fenerbahce however he favored a move to Brazil.
Pereira broke into United’s first team in 2015. From that point, he has been loaned out to Granada, Valencia, and Lazio. He was given another four-year contract in 2019, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer quick to draw out the best in him.
The player has shown some positive signs on many events however has failed to put in consistent performances for Man United. In 75 appearances for the club, Pereira scored only four goals regardless of playing as an attacking midfielder for Manchester United.
At this phase of his career, it will be better for Pereira to take this loan deal and get himself some much-needed game time.
