Man Utd duo deliberately avoided talking to Erik ten Hag before leaving club

Andreas Pereira has become the second former Manchester United player to reveal he avoided crunch talks with Erik ten Hag to ensure he left the club last summer.

The Brazilian ace ended his 11-year stay at Old Trafford in July as he made the £10million switch to Fulham following their promotion to the Premier League. Pereira joined the world-famous United academy at the age of 16 and went onto make 75 senior appearances for the Red Devils.

However, Pereira felt that it was the time to move on as he never really established himself as a first-team regular at the club despite scoring some stunning goals. During his time at Craven Cottage, Pereira has scored twice and provided six assists in 27 Premier League matches - but stats don't tell the fully story.
