Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira made a one-season loan to Brazilian giants Flamengo on Friday.
Pereira trades United for Flamengo, who has the option to buy the former Brazil international at the end of the loan deal.
It comes after Flamengo signed Kenedy on loan from Premier League powerhouse and Champions League holders Chelsea.
“Amazing feeling,” Pereira told Flamengo TV after arriving at the airport. “I’m very happy. I want to work, I want to come here to win titles, to help the team and to do my best.
“It’s an inexplicable feeling. I’ve been through the entire pre-season with Manchester. So I’m ready to play. I can’t wait to start working.”
Pereira has made 75 appearances and scored four goals in all competitions since making his United debut in 2015, however, the 25-year-old will spend another season away from Old Trafford.
After loan spells at Granada in 2016-17 and Valencia in 2017-18, Pereira was loaned to Lazio from Serie A last season, scoring one goal in 33 appearances.
