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.
