Pereira ‘will look to quit Man Utd even if Lazio do not make loan transfer permanent’ with Napoli and Atalanta keen


MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Andreas Pereira will reportedly look to quit Old Trafford this summer.

The 25-year-old is currently on loan at Serie A side Lazio and is hoping to make the move permanent.

But ESPN understand that Pereira will try to force a move elsewhere even if Lazio do not agree to a permanent deal.

Fellow Italian clubs Napoli and Atalanta are also said to be interested in securing the Brazilian international’s services.

Pereira has made 75 appearances for Man Utd since breaking into the first team during the 2014-15 campaign.

And despite playing 40 times for the Red Devils last season, he was still farmed out on loan to Lazio in the summer.

It is his third temporary spell in four years having also had stints at La Liga sides Granada and Valencia.

He has played 23 times for Lazio this season, netting just the one goal.

Pereira has found himself at the back of the queue among those occupying the central midfield places for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

United have an array of options in the middle of the park including Bruno Fernandes, Fred, Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Scott McTominay.

The competition for places has left new signing Donny van de Beek spending much of his time watching from the sidelines.

Solskjaer has guided Man Utd to second in the Premier League table with ten games remaining.
