"Manchester United planning to resume training on May 18", says Andreas Pereira and reveals details

Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has revealed the club plan to restart training on May 18. The majority of Premier League clubs remain in self-isolation due to coronavirus pandemic, while Arsenal and Tottenham have already returned to their training grounds. United players, who were abroad have been told to return to the UK. Pereira has confirmed the club plans to return to training later this month. "We had a meeting and were told that if everything is going well, we'll be back in training on May 18 in groups of six," Pereira told Globo Esporte. "If that goes well, a week or two later, we'll be able to train as a group. There will be six players training initially and there won't be much contact between us. We'll still be separated and training in different parts of the pitch. Those precautions have to be followed. I don't know who'll be in my group yet." Pereira has made 37 appearances in all competitions before the coronavirus outbreak. The player is under contract with United until 2023. "Right now I'm focused on Manchester United and playing well," he said. "This season, for the first time, I've felt like a starter at the club, so I'm focused on cementing my place and playing well. I'm very happy now at the moment but, as a player, I'd like to play for another big club. I really like clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. "At the moment, I'm focused on my football here at Manchester United, where they've given me everything since I was 16. I'd happily stay here until I've won the lot and I'd then move to Santos. I don't think I'd play for another English club. I can't see that happening." Source: Sky Sports
