Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira stated that leaving Manchester United was the best choice he had ever made.
In July 2022, Pereira departed from United after spending 11 years with the club to become a member of Craven Cottage.
Although the star is appreciative of his time at Manchester United, he is keen to show that he deserved more playing time.
He also stated that he thought his current squad was “underrated.”
After joining United as a young player, Andreas Pereira made 75 appearances for the team before signing a £10 million+ add-on contract with Fulham in 2022.
Pereira participated in 37 of Fulham’s 38 league games last season, and was called up to the Brazilian national team for the first time in six years.
Pereira on leaving Manchester United
”I think it was the best decision I made in my life,” Pereira told The Evening Standard.
”To come to live and play here, to enjoy my football, to get back into the national team with great players, to enjoy my football in the Premier League, leaving is the best decision I made.
”The time I was there, I really enjoyed being at a fantastic club. But I don’t regret leaving. We [the players in my situation] have this desire to show it was wrong that we didn’t play.
”With everyone’s help around me [at Fulham], I achieved a great season. We started the season by losing a very important player, [Aleksandar] Mitrovic. We had to search for the way we have to play without him. In January, Rodrigo [Muniz] came in, scored all the goals and made my life easier!.”
Meanwhile Sports Buddy reported in other news that Fulham has completed the signing of Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal.
