Andreas Pereira

I want Jose to give him a chance of playing as an attacking right midfielder (4-2-3-1) ahead of Lingard or as a right striker in (4-3-3) in the upcoming games. He was played out of his preferred position as a LM in the match against Wigan Athletic but I want Jose to play him as an attacking midfielder unlike LVG who played most of his squad players out of their natural positions which decreased their efficiency as a player and worked against our teams chances of getting a win in a match.

Think he did well in an unfamiliar role (?), so I would imagine it made a positive impression.

One peach of a ball.

Jose confirmed he is going on loan to Granada

Fair enough. Lets hope he gets plenty of game time, it's what he needs!

Jose: "I love Andreas Pereira. I love the kid as a player. I would love him to be in my squad but I don't have him. He's going, to play"

You know how this will turn out right? He'll either do brilliantly well, or won't play and somebody will suggest we recall him. Stew will remind people there's no recall clause. This will gain momentum and every third post will cry for Pereira to be recalled until Stew loses his rag and starts banning people. I have seen the future.

let`s hope it doesnt turn out another "januzaj to bvb" kind of loan.but it seems like mourinho really likes him. hopefully he gets enough minutes at granada, he`s such a talented player, maybe just needs a long run of games to finally impress.

PARTING SHOT Manchester United ace Andreas Pereira accuses former boss Louis van Gaal for ‘failing to keep his word’

MANCHESTER UNITED ace Andreas Pereira has criticised former boss Louis van Gaal for being dishonest and admits the atmosphere under Jose Mourinho has changed for the better.

The highly-rated attacking midfielder was told by Van Gaal that he wasn’t prepared to let him leave on loan due to first team commitments. But the 20-year-old racked up just four substitute appearances last season and hopes to improve his game on loan at La Liga side Granada this campaign.
Speaking to Beyond the Pitch, Pereira said: “During the season a lot of things happened. “I think he [Louis van Gaal] is a very good coach but unfortunately he couldn’t keep his word to me.
“It didn’t happen, I didn’t get to play so hopefully I can play now and have a good season.”
Pereira secured a season-long loan to Granada after having conversations with Mourinho and the Brazilian praised the Portuguese boss for his honesty. He continued: “Mourinho wanted me to go and play and experience a full season. “He told me that because of other midfielders in the squad it would be difficult to play a lot. "I spoke with Mourinho and he was honest with me and that's what I like."
United have started the season in fine fashion with a 100 per cent record from their opening three matches and Pereira has put it down to the morale within the squad. "A lot of things changed and a lot of people changed. People are happier and more relaxed.
"It is a different atmosphere than last year. People can do their jobs easier and I think everything has come together."

Andreas Pereira stood on the half way line under the Saturday night lights at Camp Nou. A crowd of 82,914, the biggest he’s ever played in front of watched as he lined up next to Lionel Messi before kick-off.

The Manchester United youngster, 20, is on loan at Primera Liga side Granada for the season. They’re winless and bottom of the table. A slaughter was anticipated at Camp Nou on Saturday, but Granada defended well and were the only team to keep Barça goalless in the first half at home so far this season. A goal after the break from Rafinha condemned the Andalusians to another defeat, but Pereira performed well. He performed a Cruyff-like turn to get past Denis Suarez in the first half.

For his career to progress, Pereira needed minutes of competitive football. He made his United debut in the infamous 4-0 defeat at MK Dons two years ago and along with James Wilson and Adnan Januzaj, is the only outfield player from that night still attached to the club. He’s featured in 13 United games but didn’t make Jose Mourinho's squad for United’s first three games of the season before he moved to Andalusia.

“I came to Spain to play and get more time on the pitch,” he told the M.E.N. after Saturday’s game.

“I’m enjoying it. Granada is a beautiful city and I’ve visited the Alhambra Palace. The food is good, I like the paella. It’s good to play around Spain too. Playing in the Camp Nou was a great experience.”

Spanish club sides are the best in the world. They’re the pre-eminent force in European football and playing against the best – and trying a different type of football – isn't doing Pereira any harm.

“The football is more physical in England,” he explains. “Here, they play a bit slower and it’s more technical so it’s different and difficult to play here too. The training here is hard, with more emphasis on the tactical and skills side than the physical side.”

The versatile Pereira, who prefers to play as an attacking midfielder but is being used as a winger by Granada, keeps in touch with several of his United team mates.

“I speak to Paul Pogba and a lot of the other players,” he says. “I ask how they’re doing, wish them luck. My plan is to get more experience here, to get into that rhythm of playing every week at a high level, then go back stronger to United, with a better football knowledge. With each game I feel that I’m getting better and better. I think I have a good future at United and the people at the club give me confidence that that is the case too.”

Manager Mourinho has also been in contact.

“He sent me a message a couple of weeks ago asking how everything was going,” explains Pereira. “You appreciate that when you’re away on loan.”

Pereira also follows United closely.

“I watch every game on TV,” he explains. “I watched the Burnley game. The team are doing quite well. It’s difficult when you have a lot of new players and a new manager, but I think things will fall into place and the team will getting better as they get to know each other more and go further into the season.”

While he’s playing more club football, he’s also represented Belgium and Brazil, the first from under 15 to under 18, the second from under 20 to under 23 level. Like Rafinha who scored against him on Saturday, the Brazilian was a son of a footballer born in Europe but chose to play for Brazil.

“The next step is difficult – it’s the full Brazil team, but I think if I do well here and do well back at United then that’s realistic,” he says.

For now, he’s concentrating on helping Granada. A first win would be a start.

“We’ve been unlucky in some games, but we also have a lot of new players and a new manager so we have to adapt. It’s difficult, but as we showed against Barcelona, we have great potential.”

As does Andreas Pereira.

Andreas Pereira’s early return to Manchester United is a real possibility, Sport Witness can confirm.

The 20-year-old, who’s currently on a season-long at Granada, is open to the chance of cutting his spell short so he can prove himself under José Mourinho.

The player made ten appearances in La Liga, with the team failing to win any of them, being now bottom of the table.

But there are still positives to take from the loan. Despite the club’s poor form, Pereira is doing well. And Mourinho knows it.

Adding to earlier claims that returning to Manchester United in January is a possibility, Sport Witness has learned that Mourinho has been keeping frequent contact with the player during the past few months and there’s the ‘possibility’ that he decides to get Pereira back at Old Trafford.

José Mourinho is expected to get rid of a few Manchester United players during the January window, and given the difficulty of making new signings during this time of the season, calling Pereira back is a card the club have on the table.

The youngster is keen on rejoining his teammates at Carrington, where he’s been since 2012 since signing from PSV.

Back in September, Pereira gave an interview to Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte saying: “He wants to see how I’m going to play here in Spain and wants me to return next season to play for him.”

A change in situations at Manchester United, and perhaps an injury or two to the current squad, and Pereira’s wish could come true earlier than expected.
