Santos president Jose Carlos Peres has revealed that he has been in contact with Andreas Pereira and is keen to bring the Manchester United attacker to the club at some point in the future.
The 24-year-old has been a regular for the Red Devils during the 2019-20 campaign, contributing two goals and four assists in 37 appearances in all competitions.
The attacker has struggled for action since Bruno Fernandes's January arrival, though, and did not feature in any of his side's three Premier League matches prior to the division's postponement.
There have been suggestions that the Brazil international could leave Old Trafford this summer, and Peres is confident that Pereira will represent Santos at some stage of his career.
"I have Andreas Pereira on WhatsApp and I have been talking to him," Peres told Gazeta Esportiva. "He's done well at Manchester United. He will certainly the wear the club's (Santos) shirt one day."
The former PSV Eindhoven youngster recently revealed that he was determined to stay with United and "fight" for head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
