Could be the solution to our DM problem

I refuse to give up on him. I'd love to see him given a fresh start under a competent manager
Really hope that's a joke, he isn't destined for this level, he is another Darren Gibson but he looks better doing it, it's that simple.
No I'm not joking, but I also don't think it will happen. For what it's worth I don't think Pereira was given the same chances a nothing player like McTominay has got for instance. As for Gibson I feel he was a better player than McTominay but never good enough for united. That's where we are as a club.
Gibson is a different style of player to Mctominay and has done nothing to suggest he's ever been at a similar level to Mctominay, I find that a strange mentality in truth because he isn't good enough, wish him well but giving an attack minded championship level player a chance in a DM position for the first team of Manchester United is pure lunacy, Lingard can't get any minutes and is 100 times the player Pereira will ever be, he's a highlights player
You guys really don’t know the impact and difference a world class manager makes do you? Fecking Barkley, Loftus cheeks, Curtis Jones, Milner, Henderson are all contributing big time in top teams all because of Klopp and Tuchel. If you really think Anders wouldn’t even contribute or be an impact sub even under a class manger then I don’t know what to say.
He played 40 games for us in the 2019/20 season and was utter gash in about 39 of them. At that point in his career he was 23 with over a 100 senior games under his belt so the notion he was not given a chance is laughable. He is not equipped to be a Premier League midfielder and there is ample evidence to support this. Very happy for him that his loan is going well and I will be happy for us if we get a proper fee for him at the end of this season.
Pereira has played under... 3? 4? ....managers and been more or less shite for all of them.
Therefore, one can probably safely deduce that he is in fact, shite.

He's gold for them!
Statistically the 5th best player in the Brazilian league and 2nd best at Flamengo. But at 25 thats less impressive than if we were talking about a 20-22 year old. I think we can safely say that if they were to keep Andreas, hes good enough to ensure they do well in their league and might yet in the future command a hefty transfer fee if a european club wants to give him another go in the future. Its just that even on current form the 5th best player in the Brazilian league is not getting into the team ahead of Bruno, Ronaldo, Greenwood, Sancho and Rashford. And when hes competed with McTominay in the past, McTominay has been the one who outperforms him in a premier league CM role getting forward and scoring goals.
Then theres Van De Beek who barely gets a game and Pogba even if he is likely to leave.
Artur there is 23 and statistically the 3rd best. He wouldnt be starting here either but that doesnt mean he wont be a quality player in europe for someone in the next year or two
The post I responded to mentioned wanting to see him at DM. I want to see him get another chance wherever a proper manager sees fit.
For the bolded part, Gibson was a box to box CM, just like McTominay. He was a much better passer.
Maybe your memory is eluding you. Gibson did score in a CL semifinal against Schalke. He got 10 goals and 7 assists for united in 60 appearances but less than 30 starts. McTominay has 11 goals and 2 assists in 127 apps and way more minutes and starts than Gibson was afforded. Both are not good enough for clubs vying for top honors but Gibson was the better and more productive player.
Gibson was clearly better than McTominay, not even remotely debatable.
That's not fair. He was decent in most of the games that he played in the more attacking positions (right wing or #10) that season. It's not saying much seeing as his competition was Mata and Lingard who were both in terrible form, but Andreas was easily our best performer in those roles until we signed Bruno at the end of January. Obviously he shouldn't have been a starting player, but at that time he was performing at a decent squad-player level.
It was only when Ole moved him back to central midfield that he was terrible. And yes, he was definitely terrible in the deeper role.
My word. Dude has just fecked up and handed Palmeiras the Libertadores in extra time, absolutely appalling mistake! Anyone else watching?
Awful. He’s been alright up till then but that’s unforgivable.
No doubt that will cost him a transfer and he'll be back at Carrington come next June. Can't believe we ever thought it sensible to renew his contract in 2019. It was obvious years ago that he'd never be an elite player.
Oh dear.

Feel for him
It's not like he did it on purpose. Would be incredibly fickle of them to cancel a transfer after a fairly productive spell.
He's been among the best players in the Brazilian championship. His loan spell has been good
We will get few million quid at best anyway. Don't think they have any cash tbh.
You don't know Brazilian clubs and their fans then... for Flamengo fans this will always be the final that Pereira threw away.
He is done there IMO, they won't forget it. But his good performances should get him a move somewhere else hopefully. Maybe a European club will offer a decent fee
Sums him up really.
Ah jeez what a shocker. It's almost like the tempo there is so slow he's literally sleep walked into his body not reacting.
In such an important game too. You've got to feel for him, but it's such a silly error.

fecked up big time. Costed Flamengo the title. Wow, feel sorry for him not for the club. feck them.
How exactly?
He's going to get slaughtered.
That is truly awful.
I'd say he's done there. The fans won't ever forgive him for that.

Cost his team in Copa Libertadores.
Horrendous.
Has said he wants to leave United.
Another player we have held on to for too long.

I'd love to get 15-20m euro's on him
Never going to get that amount of money, and none of the Flamengo supporters rates him, just like the Lazio supporters, or every other team that has had him. Another masterclass by Man Utd.
When is his contract up?
2023.
We're getting nothing near that, try £5m with about £4m in add ons. Some of our fans really over value our players.
