To be fair, I'm sure LVG wants to play him when the pressure is off. Recently the games have been very tight.
Andreas Pereira | 2014/15 Performances
- Thread starter Raees

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Bullshit! He should be brought on when we're 3-0 down to Everton and then we'd definitely have won
We're in a top 4 race so it isnt so strange he isnt playing.
Of course he's not getting minutes at the moment. We're in no position to give minutes to an unproven teenager. I've no doubt that if RVP was fit and didn't need minutes that he'd have been brought on against Everton jut to see what he could do. But I'd rather have Van Persie back match fit for the final few games.
He's been on the bench in, what, the last 6 games that he's been available for?

he'll play today with the U21, as will Januzaj, Wilson, Blackett
Haven't watched that video yet but would love a gif of that bit of skill he did on the left touch line in the second half. Flicking the ball up over a sliding tackle. Was well slick.
He was class yesterday for the U21's, if we're doing well against West Brom hopefully he can some minutes.
It has been obvious for a while that he's likely to stay looking at his performance and how he has been treated.Quite similar to Gribbin's.
That would be great news. He is one talented lad.
Andreas Pereira has been included in Brazil’s 26-player provisional squad for the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

He's Brazilian? I always thought he's Portugese or something
Both of his parents are Brazilian, his father was a professional player in Belgium where he was born.
What's his best/preferred position really? Can he make it as a CM?
CM
I would say he is similar to Herrera, can play in central midfield or at 10.
CM is his best position, but he can also play as a no.10 and do a job on the wing.
We will find out when he plays in that Juve midfield next season.
our future midfield, Pereira and Gerson
I can't say that I'm at all clued up on youth football stuff, but he looks quite engaged in his U21 performances, nothing like Pogba looked just before he was off.
Just watching that video, the way he moves is so similar to a young ronaldo, maybe its just the boots and the ankle tape (its not)
Obviously this is no mark of his talent, but just found it interesting
Watching that he reminds me a bit of Coutinho.
Would be great news, hope he can be part of the squad next season and get some gametime. Even if we sign a midfielder our depth in that area is still not that great so he could get a game here and there.
Hopefully we see one of those contract signing pics with him and LvG soon, it would be a shame for him to leave without even getting a chance at having an impact on the senior team.
His recent performances have started to remind me of Thiago, he still does a lot of flicks and tricks but now theres a lot more purpose to them rather than just for the sake of it. He's also keeping the ball a lot better and raised the tempo of his passing and his all round game. He's developed and matured quite a bit this season
Hope he stays.
Eerily similar to Deco in terms of style of play. Don't know if he'll progress into that type of a player long term, but Pereira has comparable confidence in his own skillset (eg. 3:00 - no look pass), very good dribbling ability, awareness of what's going on around him, good control in constricted spaces and decent passing range. Could stand to improve his field vision and general decision making but to be fair, he has shown a lot of improvement already this season and more should come naturally with age and experience, and overall just working towards translating his confidence to the senior stage.
If Andreas progresses well over the next couple of seasons, he could be a good option as Ander's central midfield cohort. Or atleast be a good option coming off the bench. It's going to be a critical phase for him, as it is for all footballers on the verge of senior football. Just hope we iron out his contract and tie him to a long term deal.

He is too attack-minded to be a CM in a 4-4-2 for me.
Great news. I really like him.
So? When's the last time we used that formation? He could easily play the role Herrera currently does for us.

This kid has a future here. I think him, Wilson and Januzaj need to go out on loan. If he doesnt go out on loan, then with the amount of games and injuries next season, he will definitely get his chance to play.
We have to get this lad signed up. IMO I wouldn't want Gundogan at the club at the expense of Pereira. This lad has bags of potential and he requires game time to fulfill that potential. He should be a back up player to Herrera in the same way Januzaj is a back up player to our wingers. Looking to the future I'd like to see both players move centrally with a DM behind them, maybe Goss or Pearson.
Pearson/Goss
Pereira..............Januzaj

Good that it sounds like he's happy to stay and fight for some chances
Hopefully we dont make the same mistake we made with Pogba.
He was born in Belgium but both parents are Brazilian I believe.
How? When he isnt Pogba?
We dont give him enough chances? Wait till the very very end to offer him a new contract? Dont play Valencia in midfield if we have injury problems to our first team CMs?
I think it was number 8 for the other team in that video was a thug, not an ounce of ability just trying to flatten as many of our players as possible, Pereira has seriously matured this last year; he's a far better team player and his technical ability for his age is brilliant. Seriously reminds me of Coutinho for some reason though.
