He's a really interesting prospect.

Looked technically a class above at every level he's played at so far.

If the right attitude is there and he learns tactical discipline he could become... dare I say.... a world class midfielder.

Ola Aina, the defender Andreas was sparring with in that video, is another fantastic young talent. Will likely be a brilliant defender. Very young for his age group too, only 17 or 18 I think.

Their Danish defender (Christensen..?) impressed me more. Also very young for his age group.

Christensen is also very good. Very mature for his age. Aina looks more nailed on to me though. He has that Gallas/Cole thing about him where he is virtually unbeatable one on one.
 
Been really pleased with him this season. He's done what we all hoped he would and started turning his prodigious ability into a more consistent impact on games. Seeing that, I'm not surprised LVG's keeping him around the first team and getting him on the bench whenever possible. Can't be long before he joins Wilson, Januzaj and the young CBs in getting some first team game time.

I agree Christensen looks very classy every time I've seen him Aina looks more like the Micah Richards type to me relies more on physicality and pace to get away with sometimes suspect positioning. The left back DaSilva is a huge talent only turned 16 in April and looked comfortable with Chelseas first team in pre season.

Time for his chance? Personally id love to see it. I know its Arsenal but I reckon he'd be up to the challenge...I think he needs to be tested at a higher as well

He's not a DM even if Carrick is out too.

He's competing more with Herrera and Fellaini.


Anyway, why the feck have we not signed him to a new contract yet ?
 
Woodward from yesterday

“Encouragingly, in addition to the world leading players we have acquired, our first team now includes several new players promoted from our academy, including Blackett, McNair, Pereira and Wilson.

“Youth development is a key part of the club’s DNA and we continue to invest in our academy and scouting infrastructure to attract the most talented young players.”

Hopefully this is a sign hes close to signing a new deal

Theres not a chance he'll be allowed slip through.

Im quite hopeful he'll get a run out at the weekend given the fitness issues surrounding our other midfielders.

I see no harm in playing him ahead of Fletcher at this stage either....

I totally agree with this, but in a game of the magnitude of the Arsenal game, I fear it will always be the job of a more senior player, ie Fletcher, to play before Youth. Sadly it seems managing Manchester United makes you do that!

Seriously? What exactly do you base that on?

Compare us like for like with most of the major teams in the Premier League & we're streets ahead on giving youngsters game time & Van Gaal will stick a youngster into a big match if he thinks they're up to it. I trust his judgement over any of the fan bois opinions on here...

Well you can take the past few weeks as quite an easy example, as RVP looking horrifically out of form and not got the legs to run the front line on his own, but at no point would Wilson of started/put Rooney up top and play Mata behind, etc. All the managers tend to go with what they know more than throw someone in at the deep end, even in dire straights. Fergie with "that" Blackburn game. Believe me, I welcome to be proved wrong, but I think we're more likely to see a midfield with Fletcher in before Pereira in the Arsenal game.

You don't always strike goal with academies but I think we've done very well for ourselves in recent years not to mention a fine crop of young players still coming through. Who has done this better than us in Europe? Surely we're up there close to Barcelona.

Think we are 2nd to them in terms of graduates to play for the first team. There was a thread done a while ago with a table detailing numbers etc.
 
Hope he can bag a chance in the busy schedule coming soon. I would give him a sub chance ahead of Fletcher, if the opportunity arises.

Also, which Brazilian players did LVG have a problem with ?? Even if he did in the past, that should not mean that the same should happen with Pereira.
 
Is Rivaldo all Brazilian players or is that guy blowing it out of proportion?

Andreas isn't fully Brazilian anyway, does he speak Dutch or French or both does anyone know?

Definitely, it reeks of stereotyping. Van Gaal may have had some minor issues with Brazilian players including Giovanni, Rivaldo, Sonny Anderson in the past but it was not a deliberate ploy against them stemming from their nationality. His main gripe was the unwillingness to adapt and follow his orders as part of a collective rather than indulging in individualism considering it's a team game after-all. If Andreas Pereira is willing to learn, improve and follow guidance, there's no reason to believe he won't be selected for the first team eventually provided the manager is satisfied with his progress.
 
Mostly from his Barcelona days. Rivaldo, Giovanni, Sonny Anderson and Lucio from Bayern.

I love Fletch but I agree. I would love to see this kid get a start ahead of Fletch
 
Don't forget that Louis van Gaal wants friendlies when it is a good time in our schedule in the new year onwards assuming our injury crisis clears up and the team are hitting some consistency.

Without a doubt the likes of Pereira will feature if so, not sure how competitive the games are going to be though.
 
Giovanni called Van Gaal "The Hitler of Brazilian players" which is one of the silliest football related quotes I've ever seen.
 
All his interviews are positive. Why haven't be signed him to a new contract yet ?

He said month and half ago he wasn't even offered one so far.
 
We'll regret it if he leaves I think, I think he can develop to be a very useful deep lying midfielder in a few years, tons of untapped potential there.
 
Looks like a good player, this is why its a shame we got knocked out of carling cup cos he could have started, decent draw in FA cup and maybe he could get games.
 
Struggling to be concerned given that Van Gaal has had him on the bench a few times already, even though most U21-watchers would've expected him to take another season to get to that stage. If he rates him that highly then he's not going to let him leave.

Now that we've got the Chelsea-City-Arsenal run out of the way, I see him getting on as a sub within the next few games.

Cheers. At least he has said he want's to stay. I'd imagine it's only a matter of time before he is offered a new contract.
