Man Utd midfielder Andreas Pereira hopes to work with Mourinho

Andreas Pereira hopes for a future at Manchester United.

The midfielder is currently on-loan with Granada.

"When I spoke to (Jose) Mourinho in his office at the training ground, he said he really liked me and the way I play, and he wanted to give me a chance to go on loan. He said it was important to get experience and prove myself and that he definitely wanted me to come back after a season," he told the Mail on Sunday.

"He was very honest with me, which I really liked. I think it's why he is a very successful coach.

"I only worked with him a short amount of time and played a pre-season friendly at Wigan but I liked the way he works for the team and speaks to people. He knows what he wants and what his players are capable of."
