Midfielder has now accepted offer to leave Manchester United – Set to sign three-year deal with Cottagers

Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira is reportedly on his way to Fulham.

The news comes from Brazil, where journalist Venê Casagrande claims the player has accepted an offer from the Cottagers, and is set to join the London side on a three-year contract, with an option for a further season.

Fulham are paying Manchester United £9m for the transfer, with another possible £3m in performance bonuses.

It’s been a while since the Brazilian media first reported a deal between Cottagers and Red Devils, and the clubs were reportedly only waiting for the midfielder’s green light to complete the transfer.

Andreas Pereira spent last season on loan at Flamengo, who despite having a deal with Manchester United for the purchase, chose not to go through with it. The player made it clear he wanted to stay in Rio de Janeiro, claiming he’s now a supporter of the club, and told the Brazilian media it’s the Old Trafford side who would decide his future.

The 26-year-old’s season in South America was full of ups and downs, despite showing good form recently. Now it’s time for a new chance in the Premier League.
