Andreas Pereira joins Granada on loan from Manchester United
Andreas Pereira has agreed to join La Liga side Granada.
The 20-year-old Brazilian will spend the season on loan with Granada in La Liga after the two clubs agreed on a season-long transfer.
The 20-year-old Brazilian, who made 13 appearances during Louis van Gaal’s time in charge of United, trained with his new team-mates in Spain on Friday.
Pereira scored in Jose Mourinho’s opening pre-season friendly at Wigan Athletic with a superb drive but the Portuguese manager feels his development will be better served by getting more regular playing time elsewhere.
Mourinho said: “I love Andreas Pereira as a player and I would love to have him in my squad, but he will go to Granada.”

Pereira becomes the fifth United player to be sent out on loan under Mourinho this summer, following Adnan Januzaj, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, James Wilson and Guillermo Varela.
