Pereira bizarrely tweets graphic for Man Utd’s game against WATFORD… with Red Devils set to play Everton
ANDREAS PEREIRA suggested he didn’t know which team he was facing on Sunday when tweeting about taking on Watford – before Manchester United played Everton.
A snazzy pre-game graphic was uploaded to the midfielder‘s Twitter page in the morning, featuring the wrong opponent.
Whether Pereira himself or a member of his entourage were behind the post is unknown.
But it suggests the midfielder has a real eye on the future with Watford actually hosting United next weekend.
The post, which noted the correct kick-off time for Sunday’s game, was captioned: “Come on Man Utd!”
And fans weren’t fooled when it was deleted and replaced with the proper copy.
Twitter user Lewis wrote: “Hahaha that’s better.”
Dan added: “Ffs. Just got a last min train to Watford!”

Pereira was placed on the bench for United’s game with Everton on Sunday, having started in the midweek demolition of AZ Alkmaar.
Knowing that a win could deliver them to fifth in the table with a defeat potentially dumping them back to ninth, it was a crucial chance for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men to continue their jump in form.
