Andreas Pereira is looking for a way out of Manchester United, as the youngster fears lack of playing time will hurt his Olympic Games chances.
The 20-year-old midfielder has played just nine times since
moving to Old Trafford from PSV in 2014, and is not
considered part of Louis Van Gaal's first-team plans.
And he confessed that the only way he will guarantee his
chances of representing Brazil at Rio 2016 is by playing
regularly.
"I am a United player, I have heard through the media that
there are several clubs interested, he told Globo .
"I don't know if United will want to loan me out but I am
working hard to get more opportunities. Manchester will
decide."
Pereira, who helped his country to second place in the 2015
Under-20 World Cup, affirmed that pulling on the Selecao
jersey in a home Olympics would be an incredible
sensation.
"Working hard in United... well, it is clear I need to play more
for the Brazil scouts, so I need to have more chances.
Playing the Olympics is a massive dream," he said.
"[Van Gaal] asks me to keep working hard, that at some
point the opportunity will arise. I am focused and doing my
best.
"Of course, sometimes I get frustrated by not playing, but
the manager is always talking to me. I need to play more
time, and the club will decided [my exit] with my agent."
