Man United can get transfer kitty boost as Premier Leauge newcomers fall into familiar trap

Andreas Pereira has always been a conundrum at Manchester United. He is obviously a talented footballer with an eye for the spectacular, as many fans will vouch for with his back catalogue of impressive pre-season strikes, but his poor decision-making and inability to regularly impact games have meant he's often found himself shipped out on loan.
