Pereira had a difficult night at Old Trafford

It’s never easy making your Premier League debut, and it was no different for Leicester City’s new signing on Friday night against Manchester United. There were high hopes for the fullback after he completed his £25 million move from Porto this summer, and people were looking forward to seeing how he would deal with the transition to English football.

It was tough from the very first whistle for the Portuguese defender, and he was often under pressure up against Alexis Sanchez. He was also caught out for the second goal, as he was too far tucked in, and allowed Luke Shaw too much space on the outside to take a touch and score. He will hope that things get a little easier for him before long.
