Manchester United's Joel Pereira joins Vitoria Setubal on loan

Manchester United goalkeeper Joel Pereira has joined Vitoria Setubal on loan.

Pereira, 22, was part of Jose Mourinho's squad for the tour of the United States but signed a season-long deal with the Portuguese side after arriving back in Manchester on Wednesday.

The keeper, who has made three senior appearances for United, was third choice behind David De Gea and Sergio Romero last season, but after the £2 million summer arrival of Lee Grant from Stoke has been allowed to move for regular first-team football.

It will be his third loan spell since joining United in 2012, having also spent time at Rochdale and Belenenses.
