Manchester United are sell to offload midfielder Andreas Pereira this summer as they start life under the management of Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag has arrived from Ajax and has immediately identified the midfield area as a position of weakness within the squad. Frenkie de Jong, his prodigy from the Eredivisie, is seen as the dream signing and reports suggest that a deal may be close.
However, his potential arrival isn't the only piece of business being conducted by Man Utd in the middle of the park. Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata have all already left the club on free transfers, and Pereira is set to be the latest to leave the club, albeit he will depart for a fee.

Pereira wasn't in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plans and it seems he won't be in Ten Hag's either as it's been reported that Man Utd are listening the offers for the 26-year-old who initially joined the Old Trafford club as an U18 player back in 2012.
