Flamengo have confirmed the signing of Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira on loan. The 25-year-old featured regularly for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side this summer but has now made the move back to Brazil on a temporary basis.
Pereira spent last season on loan with Serie A side Lazio but struggled to make an imprint in a new league, with an extended stay under Maurizio Sarri seemingly not an option this year.
A move back to Brazil could aid his chances of earning a recall to the international fold, having failed to make an appearance since his senior debut in 2018.
