Man Utd loanee Andreas Pereira facing potential six-game ban for allegedly breaching quarantine rules in Brazil

The midfielder, who is spending the season at Flamengo, could be punished after failing to complete a full self-isolation period

Manchester United loanee Andreas Pereira is facing a six-game ban for allegedly breaching quarantine rules in Brazil.

Pereira has spent the last seven years of his career on United's books, having initially graduated to their senior squad as a teenager back in 2014.

The Brazilian has never been a regular in the Red Devils' starting XI, though, and was sent out on loan for the fourth time as Flamengo arranged a deal for the midfielder in the summer transfer window, but it has been claimed that he broke Covid-19 protocols upon his return to his homeland.
