Speaking about his plans for next season, Andreas Pereira told TNT Sports: “I’m ready to play, I’m not a boy anymore. I’m a man ready to take responsibility.
“I’m sure that with playing time and continuity as a starter in my position, I can show what I’ve done at the academy, I can score more goals and make assists. A player of my position needs the confidence to play and the freedom to dare on the field.
“In Manchester or elsewhere, the time has come to play, to have at least an hour per game on the field, to have the confidence to play. I want to be happy, to feel important. We are focused on looking for the best for my career. That’s what my staff thinks. And I know United want the same.”
Pereira is being heavily linked to a summer move to Turkish side Fenerbahce, who reportedly wants Man United to decrease their valuation of the midfielder to sign him.
When asked about thoughts on a move to Fenerbahce, Pereira said: “I leave the negotiations to my agent. If the interest is true, it would be great to talk to interested teams and see the project for my career, the importance I will have in the squad and future projection.
“About Fenerbahce, it’s a country with people passionate about football. And Alex is one of my idols in the position, it would be nice to wear his shirt. Why not? But it all depends on what they want for my career, as well as other interested clubs.”
Pereira has been heavily involved in United’s pre-season games so far and even scored an exceptional goal against Brentford. He isn’t in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans for next season and is likely to be either sold or loaned out to another club before the end of the summer transfer window.
