Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira will join Lazio on a season-long loan, the Premier League club said on Thursday.

Pereira joins the Serie A outfit in search of regular first-team football after he fell down the pecking order at United following the arrivals of Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes in January and Dutchman Donny van de Beek this summer.

The Rome club said the 24-year-old, who scored four goals in 75 games for United, will undergo a medical on Friday before being unveiled as a Lazio player.

United next take on Tottenham at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday, the same day that Lazio host Inter Milan in the Italian top flight.

Information from Reuters contributed to this report.
