Until last month it was fair to bracket Andreas Pereira with the six out-of-contract Manchester United players certain to leave.
In February, United agreed an £8.5million fee with Flamengo, where Pereira has been on loan since August. But then it emerged in April the United football director John Murtough had informed Pereira he could be included in Erik ten Hag's squad next season.
By the time the 2022-23 campaign begins, Pereira will not have played for United for two years. He is out of contract next year, although the club has the option of a one-year extension.
