Unhappy Man Utd midfielder set for exit with Leicester ready to swoop in

ANDREAS PEREIRA has admitted he may need to leave Manchester United to realise his dream of playing for Brazil in the Rio Olympics.

 

Andreas Pereira wants to play more football

 

The 20-year-old has made just seven appearances this season for United with the likes of Juan Mata, Memphis Depay and Jesse Lingard in front of him.

Earlier this month, Pereira insisted he was ready to stay and fight for a place.

But Brazilian outlet GloboEsporte say Leicester, Malaga and PSV have made contact with United and Pereira's representatives about a transfer.
And the player himself feels he needs to be playing more to grab the attention of scouts.

"I am a United player, I have heard through the media that there are several clubs interested, he told Globo.
"I don't know if United will want to loan me out but I am working hard to get more opportunities. Manchester will decide.

"Working hard in United... well, it is clear I need to play more for the Brazil scouts, so I need to have more chances. Playing the Olympics is a massive dream.
"[Van Gaal] asks me to keep working hard, that at some point the opportunity will arise. I am focused and doing my best.
"Of course, sometimes I get frustrated by not playing, but the manager is always talking to me. I need to play more time, and the club will decided [my exit] with my agent."
