Manchester United started this season far below expectations, the performance was disappointing, but what worries fans more is that the team is operating in the transfer market, from this summer to the beginning of the season, there have been many new players close to signing, but for the time being, only from Ajax to the Dutch midfielder Van der Beek, while Dortmund winger Jaden Sancho, who has been rumored to be infinitely close to joining, has become more and more distant from the team. In fact, there are many players in the squad who are not reused or even abandoned, but there has been no news, and finally there has been progress in recent days, serie A team Lazio decided to borrow Brazilian midfielder Andreas Pereira, and the contract is accompanied by a 27 million pound buyout clause.
The 24-year-old Andreas Pereira is a Brazilian player born in Belgium, who joined the youth training system of Dutch League powerhouse Eindhoven at the age of 9, and in 2011, he played with the team in a youth tournament called the Manchester United Super Cup, showing great talent potential, attracting the favor of many big team scouts, including the attention of the "big 4" Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea teams in the Premier League at that time, and finally because of the personal visit of manager Ferguson. Manchester United successfully signed the 15-year-old to join. Initially, Andreas Pereira was mainly placed in the U18 echelon to train and play, and had excellent performances, at the age of 17, he was given a big gift by the team - the first professional player contract in his life, officially starting his professional football career; in the 2013/14 season, he led Manchester United U18 to the Milk Cup, an English youth competition, scoring 3 goals in the tournament, helping the team to win the championship and being selected as the best player of the tournament; Pereira is already the main force of the two echelons of U18 and U21.
In August 2014, Andreas Pereira was given his first promotion to a first team by then-manager Van Gaal, and made his debut as a first-team substitute in the second round of the League Cup with League One side Milton Keynes, but the team lost 4-0, and in March 2015, Andreas Pereira made his premier league debut in the league against Tottenham Hotspur, and was selected as Manchester United's best u21 player this season and renewed his contract until 2018.
In the summer of 2016, Mourinho took office as manager of the team and loaned Andreas Pereira to La Liga side Granada; during his appearance in La Liga, Andreas Pereira successfully secured the main position in the team's midfield with his outstanding performance, and gained a lot of valuable practical experience through stable play opportunities, which helped its growth greatly, played 35 games for Granada in the league this season, scored 5 goals and made 3 assists, although it failed to successfully change the end of the team's "tail" relegation. However, its performance has received a lot of praise. In the following season, due to nemania Matic's shooting made the competition for the midfield canon position more intense, Andreas Pereira decided to embark on a loan career again, being loaned to another La Liga team Valencia; during his time at Valencia, Andreas Pereira quickly became the team's main midfielder, and learned a lot from the team's midfield brain and captain Daniel Parejo, especially in organizing and controlling the rhythm of the game, which was really beneficial, if it were not for the injury in the second half of the season, which affected the chances to play. The Brazilian midfielder is definitely capable of delivering better performances.
In the 2018/19 season, Andreas Pereira returned to Manchester United and was entrusted by then-manager Jose Mourinho in the league kick-off battle at home to Leicester City, playing the role of the team's back in a positive selection posture, helping the team to win 2-1. However, the subsequent game away to Breton performed disappointingly, and was successfully broken through the defensive line many times by the opponent and pulled away early, so he was substituted at half-time, and has not been reused by Mourinho since then, and can only serve as a substitute player in the squad. After Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over the team in the middle of the season, Andreas Pereira's chances of playing increased a lot, but he was still a substitute in the squad, and he failed to show a satisfactory standard every time he played, and even became one of the objects of criticism by fans; portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes shot from the Portuguese Super League team Sporting Lisbon at a high price last season, which completely lost his position in the same position, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's conservative style was often only maintained." The victory 11- squad further narrowed its chances of entry, and the end of the season became one of the purgeed rosters.
Andreas Pereira, who can serve as a midfielder, back, front waist, left and right midfielder, left and right wings and other midfield positions, has a skilled footwork, often deceives opponents with fake movements, and has good ball control and passing ability, good at controlling the rhythm of the game and handling set-pieces, and has a strong sense of attacking the goal, and is a typical "No. 10 player". It is just that its speed is not high, the physical confrontation is insufficient, the defense is not as good as the attack, so when it serves as a back, it can only serve as a card-type back, but in the Premier League arena that emphasizes both speed and physical fitness, it is definitely not enough to become a barrier in front of the defense line, so its performance as a back is far lower than its own level; and because the speed is not high, coupled with some decisions, it is more hesitant, not decisive enough, affecting the team's offensive fluency, when the continuous performance is not good and criticized, even the self-confidence is greatly affected. Therefore, the Premier League ended in failure.
But now that we're in the technically-focused Serie A scene, it's definitely helpful for Andreas Pereira, especially in Lazio's quick counter-attack tactics, the Brazilian midfielder has become an important role in the team's offensive and defensive tandem, and has shared the work of the other two midfielders, Sergei Milinkovic Savage and Spain's Luis Alberto, making the team's attack more efficient and three-dimensional. Perhaps Serie A is more suitable for Andreas Pereira to play, and hereby wish the Brazilian midfielder a new world of his own in the new arena.
