Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira in Lazio talks as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer plots fringe player exits
Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira is in talks over a move to Lazio.
The Brazil international has been pushed down the pecking order at Old Trafford following the signings of Bruno Fernandes in January and Donny van de Beek in the summer.
He has been told he can leave and is in discussions over a season-long loan to Lazio with a view to a permanent deal.
Pereira is expected to be one of a host of fringe players who could depart United before the transfer window closes on October 5.
Jesse Lingard also faces an uncertain future, while Marcos Rojo, Diogo Dalot, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Sergio Romero will all have limited opportunities this season.
Solskjaer still wants to bring in at least two more signings with negotiations ongoing for Jadon Sancho and Alex Telles.
The Norwegian warned this week that he will exile any fringe players who threaten to upset his Old Trafford revolution.
“The first major contribution is for them to give 100 per cent and want to be a part of the team themselves,” he said. “They have got to want to be a part of this team going forward, be a part of this culture.
“If they don’t, they will have to train by themselves.”
