Perhaps the player fans were most anxious to see perform this preseason, Andreas Pereira has certainly seized the moments given to him — and deserves the chance to impress in the regular season as well.

The 21-year old Brazilian spent last season on loan at Spanish side Granada, where he shone despite the team failing to stay up in La Liga.

Pereira has mesmerized the fans — and the opposition — with his dribbling and passing range so far; and he’s ready to leave his impact at Old Trafford this season, already ruling out the possibility of another loan spell, according to The Independent.

With Mourinho still reportedly looking to make two more summer signings, the pressure is on for Pereira to show he’s the man to step up and plug the void gaping in the midfield.

Plus, we could watch midfield performances like Pereira’s against Real Madrid all day long.
