Highly-rated PSV Eindhoven prospect Andreas Pereira has
confirmed he will join Manchester United in the New Year.
Pereira, 15, has represented Belgium at youth level and agreed a
deal to move to Old Trafford in 2012, despite interest from other
clubs in the Premier League and around Europe.
The Brazilian-born midfielder revealed that a one-on-one chat
with United manager Sir Alex Ferguson played a key role in his
decision.
"I knew that PSV had given me my chance, but Manchester United
is obviously a great club," Pereira told VoetbalPrimeur.
"Other British clubs were interested. I thought about it, but
Manchester United is a dream club for me.
"I have been a few times to Manchester United to have a look. I
got a tour and spoke with Sir Alex Ferguson. Being a 15-year-old
and being able to talk with him is great!"
PSV signed Pereira from Belgian side Lommel United, after he
moved to Belgium as a youngster. He is widely regarded as one of
the finest players in his age group in Europe.
