Pereira..

We've triggered the option to extend his deal by another year, was due to run out in the summer.

Is this just so we can get a fee for him or do people think we will look to extend it even further? I think he could be a really good squad option, cover Pogba in the more advanced role when he needs a rest?

I think he is getting to that age now where he needs to think about if he is going to make it as a starter at United.

Probably be a squad player next season and move on if he doesn't get much game time.

I'm in the Pereira fan club and I think he needs to play more often, but he has a lot of competition ahead of him, and after the summer, possibly one more. When you're good at many things, and not spectacular at one, you end up the utility guy. I think Daley Blind was a similar case, we could have used him with Ole at the wheel.

Too early to call IMO, he's talented although the big issue has always been where is his best position?

For the past 2 years Jose tried to mould him into more of a deep lying midfielder which is where a few here seemed certain where his future lay with little evidence. But since Ole has come in he seems to be operating further forward and has shown more to his game IMO with his energy and attacking instinct.

No harm at all extending his contract, hopefully he gets more chances to prove what he can do and reach a level he's capable of.

More in him than Fred or McT from what I see but Herrera, Matic and Pogba all better than him in their roles and he isn't a proper winger.
If Mata moves on happy to see him take over his role in the team as a reserve RM or CAM.

With greenwood coming through, needing to sign a new RW and having players like pereira, we really don't need mata to stay on..

Neither Greenwood or Pereira are RWers though. Chong is the closest we have to an actual RW player. Sounds like he may go out on loan next season though so I think we would still likely need to bring in a player who plays primarily on the RW who has pace and can hug the touchline.

We need to bring someone in at RW 100% but mata isn't a right winger weather so he can go for me.
