Our former youth-team player returned to the club in the summer and performed well throughout pre-season.

Andreas netted a stunning goal in the friendly against Brentford at Old Trafford, highlighting his undoubted ability in the attacking third.

With so much competition for places at Old Trafford, particularly in the forward positions, the decision was taken for Andreas to join Flamengo this season.

The Rio de Janeiro club lifted the Brazilian Serie A trophy in 2019 and 2020 and are bidding to win a second Copa Libertadores title in three years.

Everybody at United wishes him well for the campaign ahead.
