​Man Utd midfielder Pereira outlines plans to join Santos

Manchester United star Andreas Pereira could be on his way out of the club.

The 24-year-old wants to make it at United as a successful first teamer.

Pereira has been with United since 2011, and has made 37 appearances in all competitions this season.

But he is already thinking about the day he leaves for his beloved Santos in Brazil.

He told Globo Esporte: "My whole family is from Santos. Since I was little, I grew up watching this. I was becoming a player and I always dreamed of playing for Santos, but I went to Manchester.

"I got older, then everyone said, 'Why won't you play for our Santos?' I want to go, but I can't now. I want to play football in Europe, and then I'll go.

"I want to go to Santos to win. I'm not going there to finish and to 'steal' money. I'm going to play well, so people say: 'Remember Andreas at Santos?'"
