Watch: Andreas Pereira scores a cracking free-kick on his first start for Manchester United

Beckham would be proud

Robert Redmond

Welcome to Manchester, Andreas.

This day 21 years ago David Beckham made his Manchester United debut in the League Cup, and he would’ve been proud of this free-kick by a player who wasn’t even born that day.

19 year old United midfielder Andreas Pereira is enjoying a dream first start for the club, after netting a wonderful free-kick against Ipswich Town in the League Cup.

The Brazilian, who was part of the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, was making just his second appearance for United, and his first competitive start.

A curling free-kick into the Stretford End, not a bad start to your United career.united free kick
