Big up to Andreas 💥 Always liked him & wanted him to do well so it's nice to see him thriving with Fulham. That's the thing that sets us "real" Utd fans from others is that we cherish all those who've played for us, whether it was a short or long spell/good or bad. Barring a select few players that's something that's always been synonymous with Utd fans. In recent years everything is changing, it's gotten proper toxic & hateful but that's the loud minority who we don't acknowledge nor take seriously. GGMU 🔴

[@mitchellbrough1615]

Not sure what you mean, I've not really seen any fans being toxic to players who left us apart from those who were disrespectful in some way e.g. Di Maria, rancho, sanchez, etc

Andreas is the one player I ALWAYS believed would work out for united. I remember only watching the under 21s just for him, I even named my FPL team Andreas Pereira 🤣🤣🤣

[@Doggomorph]

It would to be honest but it's just the structure of the club which does not set him up for success

[@Pumpypump]

Players like pereira have been let down by what a joke utd has been in the last decade. No proper structure or settled squad to see if he couldve made it. At least hes doing well now at fulham

[@theeteam4323]

Andreas in the 0-0 game against Liverpool under Ole when we broke their winning streak will always be in my memories till I grow old. He had amazing work rate. That's the game I knew he's a UTD product. He's Red! Loving his minutes in Brazil now 🙌🏻❤ all the best for the future hopefully the coming worldcup we'll see him do wonders for Brazil

I actually rated him alot united fans belittled him

[@Timekeeper1200]

Not at the ground they didn't. It was internet trolls

[@Elena-gj6ow]

United fans had insanely high expectations of him when he was young, so when he finally started playing in the first team and mostly just performed decently, people were very dissappointed. But he wasn't belittled. There were always far worse players.

what basically Andreas said : "Man U has missed Fred's legs, this season hence all the space"...for the life of me, I could not understand why all those ManU Fan Channels wanted Fred out! I just could not understand it..more so with Casemiro on the team and his special understanding with Fred(Doing the running) through the 'Selecao'

Because Fred couldn't pass the ball to a Red shirt

[@bluefun22]

This version of Andreas we're seeing, Im so happy he's getting his shine

[@Kilinm]

Class interview

[@StuieHunter]

Loving the part about being open to playing different positions. I started as a striker, but then the club I played for had some big issues with right back. I was put there for a season because I was strong and could cross the ball well. It was the making of me. The next season we got a really good right back, and I played in attack again. Because of my year defending, I had a better appreciation of what's hard to defend against. I naturally went from a striker to a left winger, and stayed there for years, being far more effective. I can only imagine what happens doing this in the professional game and how much you learn from it.

[@zm1180]

andreas is so calm and down to earth wish him the best

[@bakhosnocheyaya1092]

Nice !! Always wanted his career to flourish at United. It’s too bad it didn’t, but he’s killing it now

[@nate0116]

His English is really really good👌🏽 I don't get why some of the fans are complaining about the current format seriously it just makes no sense. Keep up the good work lads

[@brynlawrence9554]

I remember watching Andreas playing against my team, Burnley, at Turf Moor in an U18s game. He scored a ridiculous goal straight into the top corner and ever since then I knew he was special. Legit baller.

I understand why you guys have decided to break up the episodes - more interactions, more money! 💰💰💰 But you guys have forgotten that it was us - the fans/viewers - who have helped make this channel a huge success. A majority of us hate this format and feel like we're at ransom in watching it in this fashion. (Yes, I know no one is forcing us to watch it) but don't forget who made this channel what it is today. If you guys want to push out more videos, then create new sub-content and leave Monday as a full episode.

credit to Pereira , even when he didn't play a lot, he did his bit and he was a good servant to the club

[@mandumeyandemufayo1960]

12:32; - I have said that so many times. There's no academy player that compares to Paul Labile Pogba. I used to watch academy games + reserves, no player in recent times even comes close to him. He his talent was really ballon d'or level, but maybe his (over)confidence worked against him in the end, where he thought he didn't need to learn anymore.
