Former Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has been involved in a public spat with former Liverpool striker,Luis SuaLrez.

The ex-Barcelona forward is still representing Uruguay and Pereira, now at Fulham, was part of Brazil’s Copa America squad.

The weekend saw Uruguay come out on top in a penalty shootout 4-2, after a 0-0 stalemate after extra time, in a blockbuster quarter final.

Suarez has much unpleasant history with United after the 2012 incident with Red Devils’ legend, Patrica Evra, where he was condemned of racially abusing the left back and was banned for eight games.

Via The Metro, Pereira claimed pre-match that “the Uruguayan national team is very good, but if you take it name by name, we have a team that they dream of having.”

There is perhaps logic to the player’s argument as Brazil sit fourth in the FIFA world rankings and Uruguay are in 14th place.

Nonetheless, Suarez was not too impressed with Pereira’s judgements and spoke candidly after the match about the pre-match statements.

“We have the best midfielders in the world, top-level players. To talk about Uruguay, you have to have a little more respect, know the history of Uruguay.”
