Now that the season is over, Manchester United midfielder, Andreas Pereira is planning to enjoy some time with his family. The Brazilian uploaded a picture of him, his wife, and five-month-old daughter, Maria-Victoria on his Instastrory to see the happy family.
But where could the 24-year-old be heading to? South Americans are known to like going back home to be with their families during the holidays. Some of those who had gone home during the holiday were Roberto Firmino, Neymar, Keylor Navas, Edison Cavani, and host of other South American players who had early due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Andreas, as he loved to be called, didn’t go to Brazil during the coronavirus virus break as he enjoyed fatherhood with his daughter, who was then two months old.
“I’m not sleeping so good, but it’s fine. I’m enjoying being with the family — the baby and my wife. It’s been very chilled and nice to stay with the family because normally we are traveling. I really like it (being a new father). It’s a lot of work but it’s fine — my wife is here, so I can relax sometimes,” he said in an interview with ESPN during the lockdown in April.
Now that Manchester United’s season has been completed, Andreas is expected to have a swell time with his family.
All you need to know about Andreas Pereira
The Brazilian international was born in Belgium because that was where his father, Marcos, a retired footballer was plying his trade when he was conceived.
Being a talented lad, he has followed the footsteps of his father in playing the game. Before becoming a Manchester United player, the young Andreas started his youth career at Lommel United. From there, he linked up with the youth academy of PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands while he was only nine years.
He showed his mettle in 2011 for PSV in the so-called ‘Manchester United Premier Cup’, and many English clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool were interested in him. He made an easy choice to join the Red Devils when Alex Ferguson, the former head coach visited him personally.
He signed for United in November of 2011 and became a regular in the U18 during his first season in England, making over 20 appearances and scoring five goals. He eventually made his senior debut in the Premier League in March 2015, when he substituted Juan Mata in the 77th minute against Tottenham Hotspur while United was leading 3-0.
However, due to the competition in United’s midfield, it has been hard for the 24-year-old to break into the team. He had been sent out on loan to Granada (2016-17) and Valencia (2017-18), where he had a successful stint that eventually earned him a call up to the Brazilian national team.
While he was with Valencia, the Brazilian midfielder played 23 games in La Liga.
