Youth career
Andeas is an attacking midfielder who joined Manchester United with an already rapidly growing reputation from PSV Eindhoven in the 2011/12 season. He's proven himself comfortable in possession and is something of a long range expert having scored some excellent goals from open play and set pieces.
Andreas was given the captaincy for the 2013 Milk Cup and guided Manchester United to victory in the tournament whilst also being crowned as its best player. Manchester United have pushed his progress in 2013/14 as he only featured 6 times for the Under-18 team but became a regular for the Under-21 team. He scored the all important goal for Manchester United's Under-21 side at Anfield to take them to the Under-21 League final. He'll be looking to improve the consistency of his performances and influence on games as he leaves the Academy behind in the 2014/15 season.
International
Andreas has represented Belgium at Under-15, Under-16 and Under-17 level. Despite being Belgian born, his father is from Brazil and he's made no secret of his desire to represent the South American country in the future.
