A proposed loan switch to West Ham in January is currently the most attractive option on the table for Manchester United playmaker Andreas Pereira, according to Globo Esporte.
The Brazilian outlet report that Pereira is willing to take a pay cut to seal a move away from Old Trafford in the upcoming window, with his two agents currently seeking out his options.
Globo Esporte claim that Pereira is interested in staying in England, and West Ham’s proposal to try and loan him in January is the best offer on the table at the moment.
Good move for West Ham?
Absolutely.
Pereira is a talented young player who has been bereft of chances to shine at Manchester United despite being touted as the next big thing out of their academy when he emerged a few years ago.
The Brazil international has made just six appearances for United this season and is obviously keen on securing regular first-team football, something which could be on offer at the London Stadium.
The continued absence of Manuel Lanzini means the Hammers are in need of an attacking midfielder, and Pereira could well be that man for them.

Likely to happen?
It looks as though the Hammers are at the front of the queue at the moment, but it is not yet known who else will come in for him before the window opens.
Also, it is not stated how United feel about loaning out Pereira. Surely the Red Devils would prefer a permanent deal?
There are many questions left to answer, and that will only happen with time as the window edges closer.
