Man Utd midfielder Pereira commits to Brazil after call-up

Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has been named by Tite in his latest Brazil squad.

Jose Mourinho has heavily used the Belgium-born midfielder in pre-season after a successful season on loan at Valencia.

Pereira has been in talks with the Belgian FA this month.

But the Selecao appear to have won out after the 22-year-old's involvement at youth level for both Brazil and Belgium.

Brazil will play friendlies against USA and El Salvador.

Pereira said, "An honor that I cannot measure, a joy that explodes the heart, a dream that is held today! Thank God! Brazilian with pride and love!"
