Confirmed : Manchester United sell star midfielder to flamengo for just £12 million deal .

 

Manchester United have reportedly 

agreed a deal to sell Andreas Pereira

 to Flamengo for £12million.

The midfielder has been on loan 

at the Brazilian club since last August, 

making 25 appearances and scoring

 five goals.

He is now set to permanently 

depart Old Trafford, calling an end to 

an 11-year spell with the Red Devils.

According to Brazilian journalist Fred 

Caldeira, Manchester United will receive

 bonuses for 75 per cent of Pereira’s 

rights on top of the £12million transfer fee.

Flamengo have been keen to secure

 the permanent signing of the 26-year-

old despite his error in November’s Copa 

Libertadores final costing them the 

trophy against Palmeiras.

Pereira’s heavy touch in extra-time 

of the showpiece game allowed 

Deyverson to snatch possession and 

slot the ball past Diego Alves, making

 it 2-1.

Having joined United at the age of 

15, Pereira made his senior debut in 

the humiliating 4-0 defeat to MK Dons 

in the League Cup in August 2014.

After loan spells in La Liga with Granada

 and Valencia, it was not until the 2018

-19 campaign where he became a more

 regular fixture at Old Trafford.

Pereira won the club’s goal of the season 

award that year for his sensational effort

 from outside of the box against 

Southampton.

In total, the one-cap Brazilian 

international made 75 appearances 

for United in all competitions – the 

last of which came in August 2020.
