Manchester United have triggered an option in Andreas Pereira's contract to extend the midfielder's deal by a further 12 months, according to Sky Sports.
Pereira, who spent last season on loan at Valencia, has featured eight times under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this season.
He has benefited from the team's injury crisis, scoring his first Premier League goal in a 3-2 win over Southampton at Old Trafford earlier this month, as well as assisting Romelu Lukaku.
Pereira also played a key role in United's stunning Champions League last-16 second-leg comeback against Paris Saint-Germain last Wednesday.
Solskjaer, familiar with Pereira from his spell as United's reserve team manager, has reinstated the Brazil international to his preferred advanced midfield role.
Earlier in the season, Jose Mourinho, United's former manager, had deployed Pereira in a holding role.

He is better than Fred, if he can't join 1st team better loan him for one session to another club to got more experience
Fred is a good player himself, just like any other player Manchester City wanted Fred before he come to Manchester United Fred has his own style of playing football and his own character guys keep quiet if you don't know soccer and never had played soccer in you life kept quiet

You should actually caution yourself, because you don't know how to interpret a comment. There was no disrespect towards Fred in my comment and if you are really a United fan, what I stated about Fred and Matic shouldn't be strange to you. I wonder what you were watching in the match, because I watched the full match and saw how United's midfield lacked spark as it did in the previous match until Pereira was allowed to push higher in the 2nd half.

pay some respect for fred, what he did on that game of arsenal was his best performance since he arrived at utd, he did well In defensive options and attacking as well, i guess u never watched the game in full

I expected Pereira to start against Arsenal and not Fred... The combination of Fred and Matic has never worked well and Pereira is more composed then Fred on the ball. It's just unfortunate he didn't even play at all.

Perreira has been good in his last 2 games. We now know he performs best as an attacking midfielder.

I like Pereira. He played well at Paris. Hope these players the elders are not committed at all. He must get a long term contract

He requires a chance to prove and with Sir Ole at Manchester United every Player is given an opportunity to prove their mettle.Remember its Manchester United build to last and weather the Storm - As did Sir Matt and Sir Alex.

He should be given much time now because, Matic is not fully recovered.
In a game with Arsenal and other teams who possesses the ball much, fast moving players are needed

this would be the time for him to step up so his contract can be renewed. It's obvious he's got the potential, he just needs to step up, fight for his place in the team and give consistent performance.
