本場比賽在NFL球隊華盛頓紅皮的主場聯邦快遞球場進行。而這是曼聯在美國季前賽之旅的第一場輸球，此前與洛杉磯銀河、皇家鹽湖城、曼城和皇家馬德里的比賽，都取得了比賽的勝利。
儘管未能以不敗戰績結束這次季前賽之旅，但佩雷拉依然保持著積極態度。賽後在接受MUTV的採訪時談到了自己的看法。
「這場比賽對雙方來說都是一次很好的考驗。而比賽的經驗對於我們的季前準備很有幫助，我們絕對會把從中學習到的用在正式的比賽中。面對一支這樣的強隊，你必須付出更多的努力、精神要更加集中才行。」
「每一場比賽，對手都變得更加強大，這是一件好事。下個月我們還有一場重要的比賽——與皇家馬德里的歐洲超級盃比賽。」
「在比賽中，我們儘量地去考驗自己的能力。我們絕對會把學到的經驗用到歐冠的比賽里。如果我們再次遇到巴塞隆納的話，那麼現在的我們知道該如何去應對了。
上賽季佩雷拉被租借到了西甲球隊格拉納達，因此他已經與巴塞隆納有過兩次碰面。現在他回歸到曼聯，這位年輕的巴西球員決心要用自己的能力，在穆里尼奧的計劃人員中寫上自己的名字。
五場季前賽過後，A-佩雷拉為自己的進步感到滿意。「一切都在正常運行著。我會做到最好的。這個賽季我要在球隊獲得一席之地，並且幫助球隊贏得更多。」
Manchester United's Brazilian prospect Andreas Pereira strongly believes the Reds will benefit from the experience of facing FC Barcelona in Maryland, despite losing 1-0 to Neymar’s first-half goal.
The result at FedEx Field - home of NFL team Washington Redskins - is the club’s first defeat of Tour 2017, presented by Aon, after the four wins over LA Galaxy, Real Salt Lake, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
While it is disappointing to have lost the unbeaten run in the United States, substitute Pereira was positive and upbeat when he spoke to MUTV at pitchside following the final whistle.
「It was a good test, it was good for us in the preparation period and we will definitely use that when the real competitions start,」 said Andreas on Wednesday night. 「Playing against such strong teams works you harder, you get more focus for the games and it is a good test for us, as well as them.
「The games have been getting harder each time and it is good for us, as we have an important match in the Super Cup against Real Madrid next month.
「We are testing ourselves as much as possible. We will definitely use this experience as we have the Champions League to play in this season. Now we know what to do against Barcelona if we play them in that.」
Pereira faced Barcelona twice in 2016/17 while on loan at Spanish club Granada and, now back at United, the young Brazilian is determined to force his way into Jose Mourinho’s plans.
Following five appearances in the US, Andreas is pleased with his progress. 「For me it is going well,」 he explained. 「I am doing my best, I want to get into the team this season, I want to help my team and hopefully we can achieve a lot this season.」
