A talented, creative midfielder signed from PSV Eindhoven.

The youngster saw his Reds debut ruined by terrible weather at Sheffield Wednesday with the match ultimately abandoned but he featured towards the end of the 2011/2012 campaign for Paul McGuinness' side.

Very comfortable in possession, he is also an excellent set-piece taker and has an impressive record at international level for the Belgium youth team, despite also being qualified to represent Brazil.

Pereira signed professional terms with United at the start of 2013 after turning 17.
