The 21-year-old midfielder impressed with Granada last season, and is now set for another spell in La Liga.

He was a key member of Jose Mourinho’s squad in pre-season, but the Portuguese boss will offload him as he cannot guarantee him first team football.

According to Spanish-based journalist Sid Lowe, the Brazilian youth international is on his way to the Mestalla.

Lowe tweeted: “Confirmed that Andreas Pereira is on his way to Valencia.”

He added: “To clarify on Pereira: Valencia have confirmed it (per @carrusel). Loan deal. Could be good for everyone.”

SunSport revealed last week that the United youngster would complete a move to link up with Marcelino Garcaa Toral’s side.

The versatile midfielder was not included in the match-day squad in the wins against West Ham, Swansea City or Leicester City.
