Rivaldo has urged Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira to not return to Old Trafford.

Pereira risks seeing a permanent deal with Flamengo fall through and in the process being forced to returned to United.

Rivaldo told Betfair: “The future of Flamengo midfielder Andreas Pereira remains uncertain after Flamengo took a step back from his signing from Manchester United.

“Currently, the Manchester team may already be preparing for his return, but I think he should look for a good solution that allows him to continue playing regularly.

“It will be difficult for him to have a place in the World Cup, however, if he wants to keep this dream alive he needs to be playing regularly in a team with visibility and Flamengo was the right place, but if that is not possible he may have to look for a solution because I don't see him going back and playing regularly at Manchester United."
