Andreas Pereira joins Fulham after a decade on Man Utd's books | OneFootball

Andreas Pereira has agreed his move from Manchester United to Premier League new boys Fulham.

The 26-year-old had just completed almost a year on loan with Brazilian giants Flamengo, scoring the winner in their recent Copa Libertadores clash with Tolima.

While there was talk of him staying on in Rio and also of getting a fresh start at Old Trafford under new manager Erik ten Hag, neither of those things came to pass.

Instead the midfielder, who has one Brazil senior cap to his name, has joined the Cottagers on a four-year deal for a reported fee of £10m.

“I’m very happy to be here and I can’t wait to start the season with Fulham,” Pereira told the club’s official website.

“I want to help Fulham as much as I can to be where they belong. Marco Silva was very important for this. I spoke a lot with him, and he was a key factor in me being here.”

Pereira made just 75 first-team appearances for United, scoring four goals, despite joining them from PSV Eindhoven when he turned 16 back in 2012.
