Was bright again today. He must be in and around the first team when it matters.

Looked very good again.
Needs to add more goals to be a 10 but been very bright and creative. Looks like he'll get more minutes this season.
His ability to keep the ball under pressure is a joy to see.
He's pretty fast too, very interesting talent.
Some very good stuff from him. Second goal and once when he refused to give away the ball in particular.
this is the last thing to worry about..
It is long term if he wants to become a regular starter.
had a great pirouette at the half way line
He's going to be class for sure. So composed on the ball under pressure, and so talented. Hopefully he gets plenty of game time this season.
He's scored enough in the reserves.
He's never scored that heavily tbh (bar Belgium youth internationals) generally it's been the odd spectacular goal rather then consistent scoring.
A talent, he needs minutes to progress even if its on loan.
It bodes well that he played well tonight even with his touches so limited. In the past he's struggled to perform in the rare games for our youth sides where we haven't dominated possession.
EDIT: Was surprised by his pace today too. I must have watched 90% of his games at United and he's never looked that fast to me before.

Played a vital part in the second goal and had a couple of other moments of slick close control in tight situations, I really hope we get him plenty of chances this season.
I've always been waiting to get serious game chances and the kid has impressed. As part of the group that came on late, he was vital to our aggressive counter-attacks with his passing and vision.
Really like him. Hope to see much for this season
I have been telling my mate about pereira for at least 2 years when he started putting in those performances for the acadamy. Glad he's maintained his progression to the first team - makes it all the more sweeter!
Very excited about him. Will surely get his chances in the league cup this season. REally hope he takes them.
Thought he has looked really good on the tour. He has clearly built his confidence from Brazil and carried it on. Looks very composed on the ball and wants to make things happen. The only problem is the amount of people in front him, will prevent his chances unfortunately.
It's been a while since we really unearthed a top talent (and kept him). I have high hopes.
He can control the ball, is great in tight spaces and can play the game at a high pace, very dynamic. Surely something that our other midfielders cannot
To be honest that sounds like a good description of Herrera.
Perhaps players shouldn't just be 'in front of him'. He's looked better than any other midfielder on tour. If that continues, he must play.
I said some time back in an argument on here that found him more talented than Herrera and I stick by that. He specific techniques are well above his age. Ball striking, his passing, he just has the goods. There's a absolutely no reason he can't or shouldn't reach the heights that Modric has reached. He's our own Thiago.
He looks ready to me to make a big step up. In every game in pre season he's looked one of the two/three footballers on the pitch to whom everything looked more natural. I'm hoping, like Januzaj, he gets opportunities this year. Give him a home game early in the season given he's in good form right now.
I Feel like he's the next "Breakthrough" talent from our youth team, i can see him as a regular next season as part of the first team squad and hopefully he can establish himself.
It Seems as if he can play such a wide range of positions from the 8, both wings, and the 10. Obviously nowhere near the level yet and he has a lot to do, but he reminds me a lot of his fellow Brazilian Coutinho. and if he can get anywhere near that level of consistency and productivity, we have one hell of a player on our hands.
Last point, the way he dribbles and carrys the ball forward, he has that undefinable "Danger" factor where regardless of what he does with the ball it looks threatening.

He's ambidextrous to the point of it being confusing if what I'm hearing is correct?
Isnt he a different player to Modrić though?
I think he took corners with both feet at the U20s World Cup.
Yeah, he sure did
Nope.
How come. Modrić is a deep lying playmaker, Pereira is a more a nr. 10 or so called advanced mid.
Precisely where Modric started earlier on in his career.
He can do both, he played a deeper role for the u21 at times last season. Think he also played there for the first team too.
Indeed, infact I think the Modric comparison is quite a good one.
