One of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's final press conferences at Manchester United saw him insist that there remains a "top quality player" in Andreas Pereira who he would welcome back to Old Trafford following his loan.
The attacking midfielder spent last season on loan with Brazilian outfit Flamengo, where by all accounts he impressed and showed flashes of the kind of player United expected they were getting when they introduced him to the senior-set-up in 2014 after three years in the club's academy.
In truth, Pereira always struggled to nail down a consistent starting spot while at United and spent plenty of time away from the club on various different loan spells, where he also flattered to deceive whether it be in La Liga with Granada or Serie A with Lazio.
