Manchester United allow Andreas Pereira to move to La Liga

Manchester United have announced that midfielder Andreas Pereira will spend the rest of the season on loan at Granada.

Pereira moved to United two years ago but he has made just two starts for the club after struggling for first-team action under Louis van Gaal.

The Brazilian made an impact during pre-season but boss Jose Mourinho has given the 20-year-old the opportunity to play regularly in La Liga.

Granada finished in 16th position in the table last season and have opened this campaign with a 1-1 draw with Villarreal.
