Man Utd outcast Andreas Pereira on the brink of completing Flamengo loan transfer as Solskjaer looks to trim his squad
MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly poised to loan out-of-favour midfielder Andreas Pereira to Flamengo.
The 25 year old is well down the pecking order at Old Trafford and he has eyes on making the Brazil squad for next year's World Cup.
Pereira has been at United since 2011, scoring four goals in 75 games.
However, he was shipped off on loan to Lazio last season after failing to win over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
And following the £73million signing of Jadon Sancho, Pereira is set for another campaign on the sidelines.
The playmaker is believed to be a target for Everton boss Rafa Benitez.
And Turkish giants Fenerbahce have also made an approach after being impressed by his pre-season performances.

Pereira has already revealed he’s eager for minutes elsewhere, hinting at a move to Vincent Kompany’s Anderlecht.
And last month saw Pereira make a ‘come-and-get-me’ plea to Lazio for a second spell.
However, it now seems Pereira is ready to join Flamengo.
The Samba side are currently wrapping up a loan for Chelsea misfit Kenedy.
They already boast stars including Gabriel Barbosa and Filipe Luis.
And Flamengo are now ready to give Pereira the action he craves in order to make the plane to Qatar.
