Pereira Open To Loan Move From Manchester United

Andreas Pereira is hoping for a loan move away from Manchester United this month in search of first-team football.

The Brazilian midfielder, 20, is a regular for United's U21 side, but has made just seven first-team appearances this season, scoring one goal in the Capital One Cup.

"I'm a United player, [but] I've seen in the press that there are various other clubs interested," Pereira told GloboEsporte.

"I don't know if United want to loan me out but I'm working hard to get more opportunities. It's their decision."

Pereira has also admitted that the possibility of making the Brazil squad for the Rio Olympics in August is another reason he wants to make a short-term move away from Manchester United.

"I'm focused on doing my job at United, [but] of course I want to be more visible to those in Brazil," he said. "So I need to play more and get more chances. Playing in the Olympics is a big dream of mine."

"[Louis van Gaal] has asked me to keep working hard and that my chance will come. I'm doing my best.

"Of course I get frustrated at times that I'm not playing, but the coach is always speaking to me.

"I need more game-time and the club will decide with my agent."
