One of Manchester United’s brightest talents is being loaned out

If you're a fan of jokes about Jose Mourinho loaning promising young footballers out to other clubs, this bit of news is right up your street.

Hot on the heels of letting Adnan Januazaj join Sunderland for the season, Mourinho has confirmed that Andreas Pereira will also be spending 2016/17 away from Manchester. Belgian-born Pereira, who has represented Brazil at Under 23 level, is expected to join up with Spanish side Granada after the La Liga club agreed a deal with United. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/769171265055760384 The 20-year-old has found first team opportunities limited for United since being handed his debut for the club by Louis van Gaal in 2014. With Mourinho adding the likes of Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to his squad over the summer months, there's even more competition for the midfield and number ten positions in which Pereira has starred in for United's Under 21 side in the last two seasons. https://youtu.be/naJxdojC05E "I love Andreas Pereira as a player and I would love to have him in my squad," Mourinho told reporters at Friday's press conference. "But he will go to Granada." United also learned their Europa League opponents on Friday morning. Drawn in Group A, they will face Feyenoord of the Netherland, Zorya Luhansk of Ukraine and Turkish club Fenerbahce - home to former striker, Robin van Persie.
