# Manchester United: Fans delighted as Andreas Pereira is reportedly leaving the Red Devils

**Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has ‘tried in vain’ to persuade Andreas Pereira to stay at Old Trafford this summer, according to reports.**

According to [Esporte Interativo](https://www.esporteinterativo.com.br/melhorfuteboldomundo/Exclusivo-Andreas-Pereira-esta-de-saida-do-Manchester-United-20200813-0023.html), as cited by [@ManUnitedZone\_](https://twitter.com/ManUnitedZone_/status/1293984784851623938), Pereira is ready to leave the Red Devils after finding himself on the fringes of the [first team](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/man-united-andreas-pereira-transfer-rumours-solskjaer/).

The [Man United](https://www.esporteinterativo.com.br/melhorfuteboldomundo/Exclusivo-Andreas-Pereira-esta-de-saida-do-Manchester-United-20200813-0023.html) manager made it clear that he wanted the academy graduate to stay and fight for his place in the starting lineup, despite [hardly featuring at all](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andreas-pereira/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/203394/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in recent weeks.

Recent reports [revealed](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/man-united-andreas-pereira-transfer-rumours-solskjaer/) that Old Trafford is set for a huge summer clear out as at least nine players are considered surplus to requirements.

The 24-year-old struggled during Jose Mourinho’s time in charge at [Old Trafford](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/manchester-united/manchester-united-fans-blast-andreas-pereiras-comments-on-his-future/) and his chances haven’t improved under Solskjaer, as he has only played 62 minutes of football following the [Premier League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andreas-pereira/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/203394/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) restart.

The Brazilian, who has won [one cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andreas-pereira/profil/spieler/203394) for his country, seems to be below the standards that the Red Devils will need to challenge for trophies next season. From [25 games](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/243254/Show/Andreas-Pereira) in the Premier League last term, the midfielder only managed to find the back of the net once.

Many United fans on social media were delighted by this “amazing” transfer update, with one fan dismissing Pereira as “deadwood”.
