A former Manchester United player has claimed that leaving the club was the best decision that he has ever made.
The midfielder had a lengthy spell at United but wasn't truly able to establish himself as a regular in the starting lineup.
Since moving to his new club, however, the player has become a much more prominent figure.
Although he is grateful for his time at United, the star is eager to prove that he deserved more playing time.
He also expressed his belief that his current team are 'under-rated'.
A player believes that leaving Manchester United is the best decision he has ever made
Andreas Pereira made 75 appearances for United after joining the club as a youngster but signed for Fulham in 2022 for £10million plus add-ons.
Pereira has already played 82 times for Fulham and has scored eight goals for the club while he has provided 15 assists.
Pereira told The Evening Standard: 'I think it was the best decision I made in my life.
'To come to live and play here, to enjoy my football, to get back into the national team with great players, to enjoy my football in the Premier League, leaving is the best decision I made.
'The time I was there, I really enjoyed being at a fantastic club. But I don't regret leaving. We [the players in my situation] have this desire to show it was wrong that we didn't play.
'With everyone's help around me [at Fulham], I achieved a great season. We started the season by losing a very important player, [Aleksandar] Mitrovic. We had to search for the way we have to play without him. In January, Rodrigo [Muniz] came in, scored all the goals and made my life easier!'.
During his time at United Pereira had loan spells at Granada, Valencia, Lazio and Flamengo.
Pereira added that he feels that Fulham, who finished in 13th place in the Premier League last season, are 'under-rated'.

Pereira has relished being a key figure for Fulham following his move to the club in 2022
The 28-year-old stated that some of Fulham's performances against big teams last season provided an indication of what they are capable of.
He said: 'I'm 100 per cent sure Fulham are under-rated.
'It's because, in the past, maybe Fulham always went up and down. Now, people are getting used to the different image of Fulham that Marco [Silva] has created.
'For sure, we are under-rated. If you look at last season, we played good football, beat the big teams and can compete with them. That's shown how far we've come.'
Since moving to Fulham, Pereira has also managed to get back into the Brazil squad and has won seven caps this year.
Pereira also scored his first international goal for Brazil in a friendly against Mexico.
