Man Utd midfielder Pereira angry over Mourinho 'badmouth' reports

Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira is angry over press claims he's fallen out with manager Jose Mourinho.

Pereira was caught up in Paul Pogba's training ground row with Mourinho amid claims he behaved inappropriately during the Carabao Cup defeat to Derby.

But he told UOL: “It was in a cup game. Pogba posted the video before and there was me and left-back Luke Shaw laughing.

"We were winning the game 1-0 at the time of the video. Then we lost the game, and people said that Pogba posted later. But he posted before.

“The manager thought that Pogba had posted later. He asked him why did that happen. There was a mood about it.

"These things were out here in England. But it's like, I have nothing to do with it. Mourinho gave me a chance, he said to me, 'I want you to stay here'. It would be a shot on my own foot to badmouth the guy who gave me the first opportunity to play and is still giving it."
