Fulham sign Andreas Pereira from Man Utd in £13m transfer after impressing on loan at Flamengo
FULHAM have announced the signing of Andreas Pereira from Manchester United in a £13million deal.
The midfielder spent last season on loan at Brazilian side Flamengo.
He made 29 appearances across all competitions but Flamengo failed to seal a permanent move.
Pereira, 26, joined United's academy in 2011 from Dutch side PSV.
The Brazilian managed just 75 appearances for the Red Devils following his 2014 debut.
Pereira has had four loan spells, playing for Granada, Valencia, Lazio and Flemengo.
