Manchester United reveal stance on Andreas Pereira transfer
Andreas Pereira, the talented youngster who has found it difficult to break into the Manchester United first XI has been linked with a loan move away from the club. However, Solskjaer has confirmed ahead of Manchester United's Premier League clash with Burnley that the midfielder will not depart in January.
On being quizzed about Pereira's situation, Manchester United's caretaker manager said,
"No, I can't see him going out on loan. Because Andreas has done fantastic in training ever since I've come back, I've kept in touch with Warren (Joyce, former Manchester United Reserves manager), who had him in the reserves.
"I've known about Andreas from before and he's a player that you could see playing quite a few games for us towards the end of the season."
Andreas Pereira has seen game time come by at a premium having secured only 4 starts so far this season. He sees himself below Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Fred, Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic in the pecking order.

Callum Hudson-Odoi hands in transfer request
It looks like it's not just Real Madrid aces that want to leave for greener pastures. According to BBC, Callum Hudson-Odoi has handed in a transfer request to force a move out of Chelsea in the hopes of securing more playing time.
The 18-year-old has been used sparingly by Maurizio Sarri and has been linked with a move away from the club. He is the subject of a £35 million bid from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and is now more than likely to leave the club shortly.
Hudson-Odoi has been at Chelsea since the age of 8. However, the prodigious youngster is one of the most promising youngsters in the game right now and values game time above a lucrative contract and has not reportedly accepted a £80,000 a week contract offer tabled by Chelsea.
Bayern's interest in Hudson-Odoi, who scored a peach against Sheffield Wednesday in their recent FA Cup tie, is quite solid with their Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidzic admitting that the club 'really wants to sign him'.
Adrien Rabiot snubs Tottenham Hotspur; wants Liverpool move
Paris Saint-Germain's Adrien Rabiot is looking for a move away from the Ligue 1 giants and has refused to extend his contract beyond the summer. He has been wanted by top clubs like Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur.
Now, according to Paris United, the Frenchman has decided to snub the offer from Spurs as he has his eyes set on a move to Anfield. The report claims that Adrien Rabiot has decided to stall on the Tottenham Hotspur offer as he prefers to join Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool over Mauricio Pochettino's side.
However, the Merseysiders are not in the market for a midfielder and have a pretty stocked midfield. Naby Keita and Fabinho arrived in the summer and with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain coming close to a sensational return from a long-term injury lay-off, it does not seem likely that Liverpool will want Rabiot in the near future.
3 Real Madrid superstars hand in transfer requests
is among 3 Real Madrid stars to have handed in a transfer request
It's all a bit difficult for Real Madrid at this point. The club has struggled greatly following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. Julen Lopetegui's failings and subsequent sacking did not help anything. Now it looks like a few big names are not too keen on staying at the Santiago Bernabeu under Santiago Solari.
As per Diario Gol, 3 Real Madrid aces want to move away from the club. The first is Marcelo who is keen on following friend and former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus. Solari chose Sergio Reguilon over Marcelo in Los Blancos' last two matches and Marcelo wants out.
The second one is Marco Asensio who is returning after being sidelined due to an injury. Asensio is worried that he won't be able to win his place in the XI back with Vinicius Jr. continuing to impress.
The third and the more obvious one is Isco who had fallen out of favour a while ago and is keen on securing a switch and write a fresh chapter in his career.
Ivan Perisic reaches agreement with Arsenal
Arsenal's proactive forays into the transfer market have borne fruit. As per Calcio Mercato (via Libero), the World Cup finalist has agreed personal terms with the Gunners ahead of a potential move to North London. The report adds that Arsenal are yet to reach an agreement with Inter Milan.
Inter Milan CEO Guiseppe Marotta confirmed before Inter's weekend match that the Croat wants to leave the club. Perisic's contract with Arsenal will fetch him €3 million until June. This has been supplemented by a contract by whose terms Perisic will earn £6.5 million until the summer of 2022.
Inter Milan, however, are not interested in sending Perisic on a paid loan until the end of the season even though Arsenal want to insert the option to make the move permanent in the summer. They prefer a permanent move that will be finalized over the next 3 days.
