United youngster Pereira joins Granada on loan
Posted Saturday, August 27, 2016 by foxsportsasia.com
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has sent another youngster out on loan, with Andreas Pereira joining Spanish outfit Granada on a season-long loan deal.
The 20-year-old, who represented Belgium at various youth levels before switching his allegiance to Brazil in 2014, joined the Red Devils in 2011 from Eredivisie outfit PSV Eindhoven.
However, he has made just four first-team appearances since breaking into the first-team picture in 2014.
And, with his first-team opportunities at Old Trafford likely to be severely limited following several off-season signings, Mourinho has sanctioned a loan move for the midfielder.
A statement on the club's official website read: "Manchester United midfield prospect Andreas Pereira is set for a loan switch to Granada in LaLiga after the two clubs agreed on a season-long transfer."
Despite his relative youth, Pereira has already represented Brazil's U23, making one appearance and scoring one goal.
