Pereira broke into United's senior team in 2014 but has spent the last two seasons at Granada and Valencia.

However, SunSport quoting the Mirror reveals that the Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is hoping to lure the midfielder to the London Stadium.

The Brazilian's current contract at the club expires in 2019 and the Belgian born Brazilian has already turned down a new three year deal at Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, Chelsea and Arsenal are said to be interested in signing the midfield star, but will prefer to join a club that can guarantee first team football.

Pereira's ability to multiple roles in the attack will suit Pellegrini’s side due to prior injuries at the London Stadium.

Marko Arnautovic, Manuel Lanzini and Andriy Yarmolenko are currently on the sidelines and would give Pereira the opportunity to play in their positions.

United boss Jose Mourinho has only started Pereira twice in the league so far this season coming against Brighton and Leicester.

Pereira was handed a start in midweek as United were beaten by Valencia in the Champions League group stage.

Since the start of the ongoing football League season in Europe, the Belgian has been on loan at Valencia and does not want a return to Old Trafford.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
