Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has told Andreas Pereira he should leave this month.

The Mail on Sunday says the manager told eight players, including Bastian Schweinsteiger, Adnan Januzaj and Pereira, to train with the Under-21s until they moved to other clubs.

Though Januzaj, Paddy McNair and a number of other players have since left United, several 'outcasts' remain, including strikers James Wilson and Will Keane, midfielder Joe Riley and defenders Tyler Blackett and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson.

Pereira hopes to go out on loan, while Schweinsteiger has attracted interest from clubs in England and Germany, though his £160,000-a-week wages are a major stumbling block.
