Fulham complete deal for Manchester United midfielder

Fulham have signed Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira in a deal reportedly worth up to £10million.

The Brazilian, 26, has signed a four-year contract with the west London club having an option to extend by a further 12 months.

“I’m very happy to be here and I can’t wait to start the season with Fulham,” said Pereira. “I want to help Fulham as much as I can to be where they belong.

“Marco Silva was very important for this. I spoke a lot with him, and he was a key factor in me being here.”

Pereira scored seven goals in 53 matches during a season-long loan with Flamengo last season. He has been capped once at senior level by his country.

Fulham have made two signings in the summer transfer window, with defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha arriving from Sporting Lisbon last week.
