Bad news for Manchester United as 22-year-old nears Old Trafford exit — report

According to Manchester Evening News, Manchester United forward Andreas Pereira could be on his way out of Old Trafford in the summer.

The 22-year-old, who is currently on loan with Valencia, has scored and created four goals in 17 La Liga appearances this season, and seems more comfortable in Spain than he is in England.

Pereira left United against the wishes of manager Jose Mourinho to pursue more first-team football elsewhere, and despite being due to return to his parent club at the end of the season, MEN believe he could leave permanently this summer.

The Brazil Under 23 international is out of contract with the Red Devils in 2019 but his desire to play in Spain might see him consider his future in England.

With so much competition in the United first-team – Alexis Sanchez, Anthony Martial, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford – Pereira could be struggling for playing time.

Having joined the Manchester giants from PSV Eindhoven in 2012, the 22-year-old has gone on to make just 13 appearances in all competitions. He’s featured more heavily in the reserve side and on loan spells in Spain, and could be one of the first players to exit ahead of the 2018/19 campaign as things stand.
