Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has agreed to move to Fulham in a £10m deal.

According to reports, the Red Devils have accepted Fulham’s offer for £8m with £2m in add-ons and a 20% sell-on clause.

The Brazilian midfielder has had a rough time at the Old Trafford side and has not played for the club for nearly two years. His last appearance came as a substitute in a last-16 Europa League win over LASK in August 2020.

Since featuring in that game, he has been out on loan at Lazio and Brazilian club Flamengo, where he spent last season. 

After spending time in his native Brazil, the midfielder declared he wished to stay in his homeland.

He said: “I’m not the one who decides – it’s up to Man United. I would like to stay at Flamengo, but it’s not in my hands. I’ll see what’s best for me and the club.

“I love Flamengo. We will soon speak and decide. My relationship between me and Flamengo has always been very good. This year was incredible for me.

“If it doesn’t work out, I’ll always leave with my head held high. I love the club, I love Flamengo, I’m Flamengo. I will come back in the future.”

But according to Daily Mail, the 26-year-old’s time at Manchester United will end this summer. He will become Fulham’s second major acquisition this summer after the arrival of Joao Palhinha from Sporting Lisbon for £17.2million.

Pereira made 75 appearances for United in all competitions across his eight years at the club, scoring four goals, but has only spent four seasons at Old Trafford, with loans also to Granada, and Valencia.

He has one year left on his Red Devils contract but is not part of the Premier League club’s plans.
