Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has agreed a new four-year contract with the club.
The Brazilian international played 15 Premier League games last season, having come through the club's academy system and being promoted to the first-team squad in 2014.
Pereira was on loan in La Liga at Granada and Valencia in recent years but enjoyed a breakthrough 2018-19 campaign at Old Trafford where he contributed a goal and an assist across his 22 games in all competitions.
The 23-year-old says he's happy to fight for a place in Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's first choice 11.
“I have spent so long in Manchester that I now regard the city and the club as my home and I’m extremely happy to continue my career here."
“The manager has shown great faith in me and I can’t wait to get this campaign started under him.
"We know that we all have to work hard and that started on day one of pre-season. I will be doing everything I can to help us perform the way we need to, this season and beyond. I also want to thank my family for the trust they have in me and God for the opportunity he has given me.
Solskjaer says the Brazilian has shown the right attitude.
“Andreas is another player brought through our Academy that understands what it means to play for Manchester United,” the Norwegian began.
“He came from another country but quickly understood the values of playing for this club and doesn’t take it for granted.
"Andreas has become an important member of the squad with his energy and hard work in midfield. He works non-stop every day in training, has a great character and knows what he has to do to continue his development here. We all look forward to working with him in the season ahead."
