Manchester United have allowed promising goalkeeper Joel Pereira to join Portuguese outfit Vitoria Setubal on a season-long loan.
The 22-year-old is held in high regard at Old Trafford and figured prominently during the Red Devils’ pre-season tour of the United States.
He has, however, slipped further down the senior pecking order this summer following the arrival of 35-year-old Lee Grant .
With David de Gea and Sergio Romero also ahead of him, it has been decided that another loan switch is of greater benefit to Pereira at this stage of his career than U23 outings.
