PSV starlet claims United deal

15 year old Andreas Pereira has confirmed that he is joining Manchester United in the New Year.

According to a few sources he's regarded as one of Europe's brightest prospects.

He's also confirmed on his official Twitter account: http://twitter.com/#!/AndreasPePe10

 

I saw that, on twitter, imagine if he was 21, would be like world news If a player say he is leaving before the window

 

15 is too young to be getting excited about any player.

Remember Freddy Adu?

 

True.

 

But we never signed Freddy Adu.

 

Almost did.

 

If he was 21 he'd be a prefessional player, at 15 your not. He's signing for us when he's 16.

 

Hence the trial. And the fact he wasn't a teenager (that's a guess tbh) when he did have a trial with us.

 

I've always wondered how good he would have been if he signed for a top European club when he was young that would have nurtured him into a top class player, instead of rotting in the MLS.

 

He was playing for Benfica not too long ago, so a pretty good European team but I don't think he really impressed and has gone into Eastern Europe now on loan or something.

Another one is that Jozy Altidore, he looked a very good prospect a few seasons ago, destroyed Spain in a Confederations Cup game, did well on loan at Fulham too if I recall correctly.
