Andreas Pereira wants to stay at Manchester United this season rather than head out on loan.
And despite speculation he could again agree a temporary move, the Brazil youth international insists he wants to stay at Old Trafford.
“It’s my intention to stay here and help the club and help the team,” Pereira told a news conference at UCLA on Tuesday ahead of United’s clash with AC Milan at the StubHub Center in Carson.
“That’s my first intention, so I want to do everything that I can to stay at the club and help United this season.”
He made 23 appearances in La Liga last season, scoring once, and Pereira insists he made the right choice.
“I think it was on my personal level needed to play another season regularly and it was good for me as well and I think it’s good for the team and the club that I’m more prepared now than last year,” he added.
“I spoke with [Mourinho] about that and now this season I want to stay and do my best for the club. I feel a better player now than last year.
“I learned a lot in Spain, they were two very important seasons for me, especially from the tactical and physical point, I learnt a lot and now it’s a good experience to come back here and play for United.”
