Flamengo manager Paulo Sousa has revealed that he has once again requested the Brazilian club to sign Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira permanently this summer.
Pereira, 26, has enjoyed an encouraging loan spell at the Rio de Janeiro-based club, but his mistake in the Copa Libertadores final defeat to fellow Brazilian side Palmeiras has altered his perception among the club's supporters.
In February, United agreed an £8.5million transfer fee with Flamengo, where Pereira has been on loan since August. But then it emerged in April that the United football director John Murtough had informed the midfielder he could be included in Erik ten Hag's squad next season.

Pereira netted a stunning strike for Flamengo in a 2-1 win over Fluminense on Sunday and after the match, manager Sousa made it clear he’d like the United loanee to stay, having already urged football director Bruno Spindel to complete a deal.
“Of all those that we have, I would like this continuity that I have already expressed," Sousa told reporters via Lance. ".We’ve already spoken to Bruno, but it’s not just up to us, it’s up to the player and the club.
"In the game against Católica, Andreas played an extraordinary game, and now he was decisive."
United are still prepared to cash in on Pereira for £8.5m and his playing prospects at his parent club are remote, despite the imminent departures of Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Edinson Cavani.
If Pereira were to return to United in August, he would have missed the entirety of their pre-season schedule with the Premier League season starting on August 6.
