Andreas Pereira joins Valencia on season-long loan from United

Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira is set for another loan spell after joining Valencia on Friday for the remainder of the 2017-18 campaign, the Spanish side announced.

Confirmation of his move marks the 21-year-old's return to Spain after spending last term with Granada.

Pereira was initially expected to remain at United following Britain's deadline Thursday. But, according to Marca's Craig Winterburn, Pereira was eager to join a club willing to give him regular minutes this season.

There remains a chance for him to carve out a career at United as his deal to Valencia does not include an option for the Spanish side to make the move permanent, according to David Cartlidge of beIN Sport.

Cartlidge adds that Pereira may have also extended his contract by one year with United, which was set to expire next summer.

The announcement followed confirmation of Goncalo Guedes' arrival at Valencia on a season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain.
