Man Utd boss Mourinho assures Pereira of Valencia chance

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has told Andreas Pereira he will play at Champions League opponents Valencia this week.

Mourinho intends to rest several players from Sunday's victory over Fulham.

He said, "Yeah, we need too. We go to Valencia, there are people that need to rest, there are people that need to play. It's a question of trust, a question of justice too, so if I say Romelu Lukaku plays, obviously he deserves to play.

"If I say a kid that is working every day like a tiger and is not playing much like Andreas Pereira is going to have a start, I'm going to make changes in the team, because we managed to qualify."
