Manchester United Agree To Sell Forgotten Man

Ralf Rangnick considers to get rid of the deadwood in United's squad, after Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek left the club on loan.

Manchester United are set to finally sell one forgotten man, with the Premier League club's clearout of their unwanted players continuing under Ralf Rangnick.


The January transfer window didn't see any incomings at Old Trafford but there were outgoings, as Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek both left on loan.

It's not known whether either player has a future at the club, especially with Martial, and others nearly left too, with strong rumours about Jesse Lingard leaving the club in January, ahead of his contract expiring in the summer.

One other player now looks set to depart the north west permanently, with Andreas Pereira's temporary move to Flamengo set to become a permanent move away.

According to Brazilian outlet Universo Online, Flamengo officials were in Manchester at the weekend to negotiate the move and the two sides came to a verbal agreement.

The report claims that United will make £12 million from the player's sale, with most of it upfront and the rest through performance related bonuses.

One thing does remain slightly unclear, with claims that the Brazilian team have agreed a deal worth 75% of the player's economic rights.

It's common in South America for players to have part-ownership, not always between teams, but it was made illegal in the Premier League after the issue with Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano's moves to West Ham.

If Flamengo have agreed to buy 75% of the rights, it remains to be seen when the final 25% of the ownership will be going, but United won't be able to own the other quarter.

Pereira has been on loan at Granada, Valencia, Lazio during his time at United, before moving to Flamengo last year and helping the club get to the Copa Libertadores.

The 26-year-old moved to Old Trafford in 2011 but has only made 75 appearances in all competitions, with 40 of those coming in the 2019/20 season.

Whilst one loanee looks certain to finally leave the club, United have been urged to recall another midfielder loanee back to the team.
