Vine: Manchester United teen Andreas Pereira nets phenomenal solo golazo in U20 World Cup final

Fine solo effort

Ben Kiely

This kid’s got bags of potential.

Manchester United youngster Andreas Pereira certainly made his mark on the U20 world Cup final.

The 19-year-old bagged a phenomenal solo effort in the second half for Brazil against Serbia. The United hot prospect went on a dazzling run inside the Serbian box, beating several defenders (some twice) before coolly slotting the ball into the bottom corner from an acute angle.

Unfortunately for Brazil, Pereira’s brilliance wasn’t enough to secure them the victory as Serbia held their nerve to win 2-1, and claim the championship.
