Lazio open talks with Manchester United over Andreas Pereira - report

It appears that Andreas Pereira may be on his way out of Manchester United, with talks reportedly taking place with Lazio about a move to Rome.

The Guardian's Fabrizio Romano reports that talks over Pereira between the two clubs are underway, with Pereira considered an option for the Biancocelesti.

Andreas Pereira

Brazilian Pereira moved to United from PSV Eindhoven in 2011, making his full debut for the club in 2014 before loan moves to Granada and Valencia.

He appeared 40 times for United during the last campaign, but found playing time limited due to the arrival of Bruno Fernandes in February.

United are looking to move on several players this window, with sporadic interest in the likes of Chris Smalling and Sergio Romero.

It is believed that Phil Jones, Jesse Lingard and Marcos Rojo will be allowed to leave as the club look to reduce a wage bill second only to Barcelona in world football.

Solskjaer

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes his side were lucky to get away with three points after their 3-2 win away at Brighton and Hove Albion.

A bizarre set of events saw the final whistle blown, before being brought back to penalise Neal Maupay for a handball in the penalty area, converted by Fernandes.

"The character we showed deserved more."

"They created too much for my liking but they're a difficult side to play against, with really good ball players at the back.

"There is plenty of work but sometimes you've just got to take the points.

"We know we need to improve a lot.

"Last week {following an opening loss to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford] we were very disappointed not to get anything from the game but we showed the response today.

"We had too many draws last season, so that's a big plus for us."
