Manchester United loanee impressed in Valencia win.
Andreas Pereira continues to thrive out on loan at Valencia.
The Manchester United midfielder disappointed manager Jose Mourinho by choosing to head to Spain on loan again, but so far he is being proved right.
Pereira is getting the chance to play regular football for one of Spain’s better sides, and is making the most of it.
On Sunday he played 70 minutes in a 3-2 victory over Athletic Bilbao.
Pereira helped create the first goal by tracking back to win the ball back for his side, and completed 92 per cent of his passes.
He completed the joint highest number of dribbles (3) as Valencia’s other top performer, PSG loanee Goncalo Guedes.
The 21-year-old would likely not have been given opportunities if he stayed at United, who have great strength in depth in midfield.
Pereira is doing well for himself, and providing Jose Mourinho decides not to bear a grudge, his decision to leave could see everybody win.
Here is a look at how United fans reacted on Twitter to Pereira’s performance…
