Andreas Pereira: Man Utd midfielder close to joining Flamengo on loan

Manchester United out-of-favor midfielder Andreas Pereira is close to joining Flamengo on a season-long loan.

The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at

Lazio

after falling down the pecking order under

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

following the arrival of

Bruno Fernandes

and

Donny van de Beek

.

He returned to Old Trafford ahead of the 2021-2022 campaign but was an unused substitute as United opened their Premier League season with a 5-1 win over

Leeds United

on Saturday.

Pereira’s current deal at Old Trafford runs until the summer of 2023, with an option of a further year. But the Brazilian wants to leave as he has his eyes on making the Brazil squad for the 2022 World Cup.

According to Italian journalist

Fabrizio Romano

, Pereira is set to move to

Flamengo

on loan, with just the final details to be sorted.

Pereira signed for United in January 2012 from

PSV Eindhoven

. He made his debut for the first team in the League Cup in August 2014, coming on as a substitute as they lost 4-0 to MK Dons.

He has made 75 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring four goals and providing five assists.
