Portuguese set to complete January switch to Man Utd after request from Jose Mourinho

Manchester United goalkeeper Joel Pereira is all set to return from his loan spell this month.

The United youngster is currently on loan at Portuguese club Belenenses, but O Jogo are reporting that Jose Mourinho wants the player back at the club and has requested Manchester United to cut short his loan spell.

Apparently, Mourinho feels that Pereira has developed well and has enough experience to make his mark for United’s first team now. O Jogo also claim that Belenenses have already received an official request from Manchester United asking for the loan to be cut short.
