Leicester City are reportedly interested in Manchester United starlet Andreas Pereira.

The Premier League champions are hellbent on bolstering their playing squad as they defend their title next season. They've already completed the signings of Zieler, Mendy, Musa and Hernandez while continuing to look for new recruits.

The Foxes boasts former United talents in Drinkwater, Simpson and De Laet as they target yet another.

Claudio Ranieri originally wanted the 20-year-old on a six-month loan back in January but failed in his attempts as they now eye a permanent switch. The Sun via a United source claim;

"We had lots of clubs wanting to take Andreas on loan last season. He is highly-rated at Old Trafford and we want to keep him. There have been clubs ringing over the summer asking about his situation."

Pereira has made 11 appearances, scoring the one goal in all competitions since graduating from United's academy.

The Brazilian is set to meet with new boss Jose Mourinho about representing his nation during the Olympics for the under-23 side. It's believed he wants his future decided before starting pre-season amidst the transfer speculation.

Will he stay or will he go?
