The agent of Manchester United starlet Andreas Pereira
responded on Thursday to allegations that the youngster offered a
student £10,000 to have a threesome with him and team-mate Paddy McNair.
The story, broken by Dean Wilkins and Tom Barnes of the Sun claims that the 19 year old lady in question, Kelly McKinney, had been in contact with the player for awhile.
Pereira is alleged to have met McKinney at the Red Devils' recent Christmas party. He is also said to have sent her the following WhatsApp message, per Todd: "Threesome. Will take care of u. U want? How much. Tell me. We were ready to pay 5each."
It is also alleged Pereira
invited McKinney to his home "days before his Premier League debut,"
which occurred during March 15's 3-0 victory over Tottenham.Comments from Leo Scheinkman, the winger's agent, were reported by Todd.
"He is young and single and can have sex with whoever he wants," Scheinkman said. "What does he have to apologise for?"
Incidentally, it is reported McNair was unaware of Pereira's alleged proposition.
Pereira's breakthrough into the United first team comes after a string of impressive performances for the under-21 side. He is developing into a hard-working, versatile player who can provide support from the wings or in an attacking midfield role.
He has netted three goals and provided three assists in 16 appearances for the youth side this season
Pereira is yet to sign a contract extension and could be available on a free transfer at the end of the campaign. Juventus are said to be interested in acquiring him, reported by Samuel Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News, perhaps a reason why Van Gaal has pushed him into the senior squad.
United don't want a rerun of the Paul Pogba situation, which saw him head to Turin on a free before becoming one of the world's greatest young prospects.
The claims against Pereira are unlikely to aid his development or desire to remain in England, so United will be looking to renew his deal soon. The club is yet to release an official response to The Sun's story.
