Should we recall Andreas Pereira immediately?

[El Jefe]

Not good enough atm.

I'm convinced many of you haven't watched him much outside of pre-season games. Much more frustrating player than Rashford and he's been slaughtered on here recently.

Indeed, the case of the usual Caf missing 'excellent player'

 

[manutddjw]

Would be a foolish decision. If he plays in midfield as suggested, you have to realize Fellaini is going to be back shortly and is a Mourinho favourite. If we recall him after he said he doesn’t want to and then put him on the bench he will be seeking a move in the summer.

 

[Freak]

Yes. If Jose doesn’t want to buy anyone in January then bring pereira back. Our Attack is dire we could use some creativity in there

 

[Ekeke]

Its unrealistic to think hes ready based on what hes done for Valencia so far where he's had a couple of pretty good games on the wing but would have much higher expectations here. And given the way some of our fans are behaving at the moment, I wouldnt look forward to seeing the reaction if he has 10 games and isn't at a high level.

 

[Red_toad]

sure I read a quote today he wasn't interested in Jose recalling him

Yes he's not interested in playing for United, so why bring him back. Obviously loves the sun and wants to play in Spain. Good luck to him and lord save us from our fans who adore him and will blame Jose for his departure.

 

[bosnian_red]

Mourinho would be playing him in the 3 behind the striker not as part of a midfield 3. Anyway, he'd only be playing as a sub or random meaningless games. So not sure how much use or how much of a difference he'd make.

 

[Ace of Spades]

The problem is larger than simply injecting one player more of individual quality.

This.

 

[kouroux]

How has he been in Spain ? I've seen him score 1 good goal once but I can't say I've watched him closely.

Not bad, but usually struggle to influence the game.

 

[tony54]

This team badly needs a spark of something. Anything. Not sure if Pereira can be our saviour singlehandedly but he’s technically sound, direct, can carry the ball and move it quickly and accurately. Things we’re badly lacking at the moment. With Pogba and Matic playing every game and Herrera having a shocking season surely he’d be worth having around.

Would you like to see it?

If anyone, I would bring back Timothy Fosu Mensah for his speed and strength. I've not really watched Pereira much so cant comment.
We are really missing strength and speed and hence domination in the team. The injuries to Bailly and Fellaini and non match fitness of Rojo and Ibra has really knocked the stuffing out of the team.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

So those saying yes, exactly how many mins of him this season have you seen?

I think he has tailed off as the season has gone on and that is in a lovely warm country and without the hustle and bustle of the PL.

 

[kouroux]

Not bad, but usually struggle to influence the game.

Would he benefit from coming back at United ?

 

[pocco]

I honestly don't think he's good enough.

 

[Ljungster]

I honestly don't think he's good enough.

Starting player at the second placed team in La Liga but not good enough for us? He should be way ahead of a player like Rashford.

 

[Mcking]

Would he benefit from coming back at United ?

He would have been a good fit at the start of the season when we were blitzing past teams. Now we are a desperate and disjointed team in need of some injection of adrenaline.
He's hardly pulling up trees at Valencia right now, but if he could replicate his Valencia level here or even better, Lingard's current perfomances, it'd be better for him and will strengthen his chances of making here if that is what he wants.
I would prefer to stay at Valencia if it's me in his shoes though. He looks like the next De Bruyne, Salah to me.

 

[Andersons Dietician]

He’s supposedly said recently he doesn’t even want to consider going back to United, which if true you’d think that would mean he doesn’t want to be there in the long run.

Agree. Neither are a solution as such but both could bring something we miss.

For all our size I think the midfield lacks a bit of zip. TFM has that ability to win the ball high up the pitch. If we're not attacking all that well it could be useful.

Pereira can cross a ball. Simple as that. The rest of his game is no worse than whoever else gets stuck on the right.

No young player prefers Valencia over United IF he believes he'll get a chance here.

 

[Nick7]

He does not want to come back. He's not good enough to make a difference.

 

[groovyalbert]

A 433 with Pereira, Herrera and Fellaini rotating for the third 3rd middfield slot would be my ideal setup. Can’t see it happening, mind.

 

[Sing you a song]

He does not want to come back. He's not good enough to make a difference.

Totally agree at this moment we need an established and experienced player not another with " potential "

 

[RuudTom83]

Now isn’t the time to PANIC so I’d say leave the boy where he is and look to intergrate him back into the team next season.

United aren’t going to win the league this season so it’s a battle for a top 4 finish. If United can’t do that without calling on Pereria then we really are in trouble.

 

[diplomat]

Pereira won't make a difference and he will barely play at all if he is recalled. He is definitely not what we are missing and the problems are much deeper.

 

[elmo]

He'll improve our set pieces if nothing else.

He's a great talent, but I honestly think he'll be better off staying at Valencia for the rest of the season and making a real challenge for a spot in our team net year.

 

[AndyJ1985]

It'd be better for his development to stay at Valencia, rather than come and try to slot in to our disjointed team.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

We can't recall him and he wants to stay at Valencia for the season.

Why are getting moist over him anyway? He's not even the best young player at Valencia

 

[Nytram Shakes]

No he's improving where he is, players under Mourinho are not.

 

[r0663664]

He is someone that I look forward to than Herrera. He is attacking player who can dribble, pass and create. Either in the middle or left, I think he will do fine. The only problem is will Jose play him? He wants to play if Jose isn't willing to do that, why would he wants to come back? Players need confidence.

 

[Hed Zitin]

If he doesn't want to come back, why would we want him anyway?
