Andreas Pereira reacts defiantly after being axed from Man Utd squad for Leicester visit
Midfielder put in torrid performance against Burnley and has been left out for trip to King Power stadium
ANDREAS PEREIRA has reacted with defiance after being left out of the Manchester United squad to face Leicester this afternoon.
The midfielder put in a torrid performance during the midweek draw against Burnley.
And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has decided to leave Pereira at home for the trip to the King Power Stadium, with Anthony Martial returning from an injury.
There are some United fans who feel Pereira may not be good enough for their star-studded side after he produced a number of mistakes against Burnley at Old Trafford.
But the Brazilian has taken to social media to claim he will come back stronger from today’s snub.
Pereira wrote: “Everyone fails, but only the weak stay on the ground.
“Dream, never give up. Have faith, because it’s never easy and will never be!”
United have instead restored their usual midfield trio of Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera for today’s clash with the Foxes.
Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly will protect goalkeeper David De Gea, with Ashley Young and Luke Shaw on the flanks.
While Jesse Lingard and Alexis Sanchez start either side of Marcus Rashford in attack.
