More about Pereira
-
Andreas Pereira is a talented, creative midfielder who joined Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven in 2012.
-
One of the Reds’ hottest prospects, Pereira signed a new deal on 1 May 2015 that should keep him at Old Trafford until June 2018 with the option to extend for a further year.
-
"I am pleased to have signed my new contract,” the youngster told ManUtd.com at the time. “I would like to thank the manager for giving me the opportunity to join the first-team squad.
-
I made my Premier League debut against Tottenham Hotspur and to play at Old Trafford in front of so many fans was a dream come true.”
-
Pereira registered 11 first-team appearances in 2015/16 and notched his first senior goal, with a delicious free-kick against Ipswich Town in the Capital One Cup.
-
His set-piece finish was the result of continued hard work at the Aon Training Complex, which he hopes will serve him well in the coming years.
-
“I spend a lot of time practising them but I also try to improve everything, not especially one thing,” he said. “I practise free-kicks, shooting, dribbling - everything.
-
I hope I get more opportunities and impress everyone in the stadium and my team-mates.”
