ANDREAS PEREIRA suggested he didn’t know which team he was facing on Sunday when tweeting about taking on Watford – before Manchester United played Everton.
A snazzy pre-game graphic was uploaded to the midfielder’s Twitter page in the morning, featuring the wrong opponent.

Whether Pereira himself or a member of his entourage were behind the post is unknown.
But it suggests the midfielder has a real eye on the future with Watford actually hosting United next weekend.
The post, which noted the correct kick-off time for Sunday’s game, was captioned: “Come on Man Utd!”
And fans weren’t fooled when it was deleted and replaced with the proper copy.
Twitter user Lewis wrote: “Hahaha that’s better.”
Dan added: “Ffs. Just got a last min train to Watford!”
While one supporter joked: “Better late than never i guess!!”
Pereira was placed on the bench for United’s game with Everton on Sunday, having started in the midweek demolition of AZ Alkmaar.
Knowing that a win could deliver them to fifth in the table with a defeat potentially dumping them back to ninth, it was a crucial chance for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men to continue their jump in form.
