The 28-year-old insisted that his Brazil team-mate's ability to play across the front line is key in distinguishing him from the Arsenal forward. 

Pereira, who came through the Manchester United academy before departing for the Cottagers in 2022 after a series of loans, also presented the 23-year-old's European Cup win as further justification to his case.

'Your opinion is different, I like Saka a lot, he's an amazing player but for me Rodrygo [is better], he can play all the positions and he's playing for Real Madrid, one of the biggest clubs in the world right now.'
