# Manchester United: Andreas Pereira slammed by supporters after 2-0 Burnley loss

**After Manchester United were on the receiving end of a[2-0 loss](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh7St4XeB9U) at home to Burnley on Wednesday evening, many supporters lashed out at midfielder Andreas Pereira following his arguably dismal display at Old Trafford – with a lot of them ecstatic over when it was time for the academy graduate to come off.**

The Red Devils fell at home to Sean Dyche’s men courtesy of strikes from Chris Wood and Jay Rodriguez in either half, with the latter being a sublime finish at the near post over the helpless David De Gea. However, given Pereira’s seeming lack of potency going forward, the Brazilian has taken a lot of the flack since being substituted for Mason Greenwood during the contest.

According to [WhoScored.com](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376101/Live/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Manchester-United-Burnley), the 24-year-old completed just 79% of his passes from the wing whilst also failing to score any of his four shots on goal. Indeed, player ratings from [the Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/man-utd-0-2-burnley-21339696) also cited the fact he was sloppy in possession and gave the ball away far too much, perhaps prompting manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to take him off.

As a result, many supporters leapt to criticise Pereira, with one saying he makes former midfield man Kleberson look like a[‘bargain’](https://twitter.com/burky411/status/1220094026910748673?s=21). The fellow Brazilian, who signed for the Red Devils in a [£6 million deal](https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/3142903.stm) back in 2003, was sold to Besiktas just two seasons after making 30 appearances in all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kleberson/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/3365)) – debatably flopping in the Premier League. Here’s how United fans slammed their academy star on Twitter.
