Andreas Pereira 'on brink of joining Lazio from Manchester United'

Manchester United attacker Andreas Pereira is reportedly on the verge of joining Lazio.

The 24-year-old has not been involved in a first-team match for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side this season despite making 40 appearances in all competitions for the club last term.

Talk of a move to Lazio has gathered pace in recent days, and according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the paperwork has now been signed by the two clubs.

Romano claims that Pereira will join the Italian giants on loan for the 2020-21 campaign, while there will be an option to sign the versatile attacker on a permanent deal for €27m (£24.5m) next summer.

The former PSV Eindhoven youngster fell down the pecking order at United following the arrival of Bruno Fernandes during the January transfer window.

The Red Devils are expected to make two more signings before this summer's window closes next week.
