Andreas Pereira was supposed to be included in the squad for this season after his superb spell on loan at Granada.

Jose Mourinho thinks Andreas Pereira as a central midfield player where the Portugese has plenty of options to choose from in the squad.

Moreover, Pereira would have found himself down the pecking order and very less chances of first team football. His desire to play in the first team has led him to go on loan at Valencia CF.

Soon after joining Valencia CF, Andreas Pereira signed a contract extension till 2019 with a clause to extend his contract for another year as reported by the official Manchester United website. He commented

[perfectpullquote align=”full” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]
“I am delighted that I have extended my contract with this great club. The manager is building a great team here and I want to be part of that as soon as possible. I am going to continue my development at Valencia this season in the hope that I will get plenty of minutes on the pitch. I would like to thank the manager for his help and guidance and for the faith he has shown in me.”

But the fans are not at all happy to see him leave Old Trafford for another year on loan. The fans thought he had performed very well in the last 12 months to get himself included into the squad as reported by Manchester Evening News.

The transfer policy of the Red Devils have been questioned. Most fans wanted him to stay and compete for his place in the team at-least as a sporadi first team player.

Even comparisons of Andreas Pereira and Jesse Lingard have began on twitter.
[spacer height=”30px”]
Andreas Pereira’s decision to go on loan to the Spanish League where he has already excelled as a first team player is a right decision for his career to move forward. It will help him to grow much further.
[spacer height=”30px”]
This would help him to show to the world especially Mourinho what he is actually capable of. He would able to grow more as a player.
[spacer height=”30px”]
However, we wish Andreas Pereira a wonderful season at the Spanish club.
[spacer height=”30px”]
As I United fan myself, I would surely like to see him play in the United shirt soon enough.
