He'll always have these goals, like that cracker against Southampton

I agree, one of the first times I have seen him play where it actually looked like he knew his own strengths and played to them rather than doing a bad impression of totally different players.
Why cant he find a decent team to play regularly? He is 25 years old now and should not look at another loan. He is certainly good enough to play at a decent level
Funnily enough the way he played today is the exact profile of player we need to sign. Before anyone says it, no I don’t for one second think Periera can actually do this at first team level but that profile of player is needed.
He always seems to have the techniques but not quite fast mentally, but at least in this game he was playing pretty decently and almost at the level when he was at Granada. Then again, he will always be the pre-season Pirlo. 
Andreas pereira during pre-season, Hugo holgebaum during the season.
Unbelievable strike
I don’t get these loan moves. He has absolutely no future here. Just sell him.
wooow what an unbelievable goal 
He can. We valued him at 25m quid in the summer - that’s the problem. Same reason we won’t shift Dalot - high wages and we’re asking mad fees on top.
Holy shit that was hot, would pay good money for that goal to happen against Liverpool in the league next season. Without a doubt goal of the season before it’s even started
Great hit, I could watch that goal all day.
But he's just not good enough and has proven it time and time again. He really just needs to go.

@TrustInJanuzaj I quite agree with you on the profile of player we need in the midfield.
I had to watch the second goal a multiple times to be sure that it was Andreas at the start of the move.
The sequence from the long ball from the keeper and a cushioned Greenwood ball back into the midfield picked up by Andreas which led to a one - two touch with Mata was a thing of beauty.
Furthermore, that he followed the play at a respectable distance to be able to volley the ball into the net giving the Team a 2-1 lead was quite extraordinary.
Which current player fits the bill of this metronome and can chip in with the odd goal?
The closest answer is Modric, who currently is nearing the end of his career and the PL might be a tad to fast for him at his age
That's kind of better visually than the Scholes one v Villa if I'm honest.
Beautiful goal!
loved the build up too.

Our replacement for Pogba
Brilliant goal. Still want him sold.
What a ridiculously good goal that was.
I think Neves is basically exactly that.
That strike was simply incredible. Does anyone know if a pre-season goal is eligible to win United's goals of the season? I'm guessing no but I don't know for sure.
Our replacement for Scholes!
Behave. Those shoes are for Tom Cleverley to fill, and you know it.
Like a new signing
Reminds me of Tom Huddlestone in the way that, come rain or shine, he always finds a way to score an absolute banger. Yet he never has the aura of a top, top player.
If so, then I hope Veron to RvN won that year.
It's a real shame he hasn't kicked on, I was sure he would make it as a kid. He's just lacking that extra 10%, be it his brain or body.
He seems to have lost his identity here as well. Plays nothing like he did in the youth set up. There he was confident, skilled, a difference maker. Comes into the first team and plays like a budget Nicky Butt.
Tonight was more the player I always expected but we know he can't carry that into the Prem when the speed and physicality picks up.

I remember watching him as a kid in the milk cup where he scored the winner then landed on his face trying to do a Nani celebration which in a way sums up his career at United.
He is clearly very talented works hard has so much technical ability yet he just can't seem to fully deliver consistently

Keeper should have saved that
The problem is that in a competitive match he is not going to take that shot. He is a good technical player who can be a decent squad player.
The technique to hit a volley with such ferocious accuracy was incredible to witness. It's a pity it came in a preseason game because that goal would've been scored against any keeper in any game. Zinedine Zidane would be proud of such a fantastic strike.
Always sounds easy, but he earns more at United than he would elsewhere and then add a fee on top of that. So it'll be another loan until his contract expires.
Hes scored these goals before, but not good enough regularly. Sell him.
I had to go on youtube to watch it again just because you mentioned it, one of the best goals we've ever scored. However the goal of the season award didn't exist back then.
Insane goal.
Shame it got wasted in a preseason game. Would win goal of the season otherwise

One of those players who you just wish could be consistent enough to contribute. He has the talent but it hasn't worked out for him so far.
Way better goal.
I remember him scoring direct from a corner once. And he meant it. Technically gifted player. He has plenty of the parts, so why can't he put them all together?
Oh my god that goal
What an unbelievable strike!
What an unbelievable strike!
Him and Januzaj got in trouble for having a game during a match trying to see who could score first directly from a corner.
If the wages online are true, he'd only be in the 10-15 range for a team like Southampton, so if a team sees him as one of their 3 #8s (since you need 3 for 2 spots really) in a 4-3-3 (which is the only position I can imagine him in) it's not crazy to think he could move to a lower mid-table Prem side.
