Director of sport Tare was asked why Pereira had so far not lived up to expectations.
“I don’t think you can question the quality of a player we signed from Manchester United,” Tare told Sky Sport Italia.
“He needed time to settle into a new environment, just as many of the others who arrived this summer.
“It’s a process, we need to allow it to take its course, and nobody can doubt the quality of the player.”
