Erik ten Hag has expressed his admiration for Andreas Pereira, who is set to line up against his former club Manchester United this Sunday when Fulham visit Old Trafford.
The Brazilian midfielder left United last summer after 11 years with the club and he has been an influential figure in Fulham's impressive season.
Despite Pereira deciding against waiting for Ten Hag to assess all the players before he made his move, the Dutchman has no qualms with the 27-year-old and appreciates the decision he has made.
‘Andreas Pereira is a really good player,’ Ten Hag said in his pre-match press conference.
‘I [have] known him already a long time, I had him in the youth team at PSV, before he transferred to Manchester United. I am really happy for him and that he is progressing that well.
I think it was the right step for him as I think he has to play on a regular basis. He didn’t do it over several years at Manchester United, [but] then there comes a point where you have to switch. Maybe to take a step back in order to progress in the future and I think he is doing a good job, that is quite obvious, as is Fulham. They are playing in a good way.’
