In a provocative display of club loyalty, Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira has set social media ablaze with his latest training ground attire. The 29-year-old Brazilian was spotted wearing a shirt emblazoned with 'MILF' - which he later explained stands for 'Man I Love Fulham.'
The former Manchester United player was photographed alongside teammate Calvin Bassey during a training session, accompanied by a defiant Instagram story message reading "Say less." This bold statement arrives amid swirling transfer speculation and recent team selection controversies.
Pereira's absence from the squad during a crucial match against Tottenham raised eyebrows across the football community. Manager Marco Silva moved quickly to quell rumors, describing it as purely a "technical decision." The situation was further complicated by reports of an interview where Pereira allegedly expressed interest in playing for Marseille under Roberto De Zerbi - claims which the midfielder vehemently denied on social media as "malicious and inaccurate."
The Brazilian international's commitment to Fulham has been tested recently, with Brazilian club Palmeiras seeing their January transfer bid rejected. However, Pereira's latest fashion statement appears to be a clear message of his dedication to the Premier League side.
The midfielder could make his return to action in Fulham's upcoming FA Cup third-round fixture against Watford on Thursday, potentially offering him an opportunity to let his football do the talking after his headline-grabbing training ground appearance.
