EVERTON have approached Manchester United for Andreas Pereira, who is up for sale, reports say.

Pereira spent last season on loan at Lazio having continued to struggle for games at Old Trafford.

The midfielder scored a wonder goal against Brentford in pre-season, reminding clubs of his talent.

And according to Fabrizio Romano, Everton are among several looking to take the Belgian-born, Brazil international on loan.

But United are understood to be prioritising a permanent deal for the unsettled playmaker.

Pereira, 25, moved to Old Trafford in 2015, but has struggled to cement a place in the first team.

During his time at the club, he has been loaned out to three different clubs, including Granada, Valencia and most recently Lazio.

At the end of the last campaign, the Serie A giants enquired about signing Pereira on a permanent deal – but were told to stump up around £21million.

Instead, Lazio turned their attentions to Felipe Anderson, who they snapped up from West Ham in a £3m deal.

Fenerbahce are also a side reported to have thrown their hat in the ring for Pereira's services.

The Turkish giants have enquired about his transfer valuation, but are said to be reluctant to pay his £21m fee.

According to the report by TNT Sports, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer kept in regular contact with Pereira when he was on loan in Italy.
