How Manchester United loanee Andreas Pereira is performing for Flamengo

Manchester United loanee Andreas Pereira continues to impress whilst on loan in Brazil.

The Brazilian midfielder is currently out on loan back in his international country, although born in Belgium - while on a season-long deal with Flamengo.

Pereira has impressed during his time with Flamengo, recently scoring one of the goals of the season in the style of a 30-yard free-kick.

Pereira has spent the last few years away from United on loan, enjoying impressive spells at Granada, Valencia and Lazio.

And although Flamengo would fall to league leaders Atletico Mineiro, the United loanee earned many plaudits for his performance.

One fan wrote: "What a brilliant performance. Let's hope @ManUtd don't want him back, they could do with him!"

Another said: "Pereira is quickly becoming my favourite player."

He joined the Brazilian club this summer, who also have an option to buy the 25-year-old who has failed to establish himself as a mainstay in United’s first team.

Pereira has enjoyed a fine start to life in Brazil. After joining Flamengo alongside former Chelsea stars David Luiz and Filipe Luis, along with current Chelsea loanee Kenedy, the Rio de Janeiro side sit second in the league.

Flamengo have a £16.9m option to buy Pereira at the end of his loan spell.
