Tyler Blackett and Andreas Pereira are among five youngsters that will leave Manchester United this summer, Football Express News understands.

Pereira has made just one senior appearance under boss Louis van Gaal this season, featuring in the 4-0 League Cup defeat to MK Dons, although he is expected to have a bright future.

And, his talents have led a number of top European clubs to show interest, one of those being Juventus, where former Man United youngster Paul Pogba is keen to link up with his former team-mate and friend.

“Pogba is a friend of mine, he tells me that Juventus is perfect for me,” Pereira toldTuttosport.

Pereira’s current deal with United is due to expire in June and it is now looking likely that he could follow Pogba in leaving United in a similar style.

Meanwhile, central defender Blackett is also said be on the verge of a summer exit, despite making 10 league appearances under Louis van Gaal this season.

Fellow academy graduates Reece James, Will Keane and Tom Thorpe are also expected to leave.
