Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira is a step away from signing permanently with Flamengo.

Bolavip says Flamengo are currently discussing an outright transfer for Pereira after his successful loan spell.

They say Pereira has a verbal agreement on four-year deal and it will only take United's word to sanction the deal.

The midfielder joined Fla last season and helped them reach the final of the Copa Libertadores.

Pereira, after the final, vowed to help Fla win the Copa this new season.
