Manchester United are Considering Recalling Andreas Pereira from Valencia

Manchester United are contemplating recalling Andreas Pereira from his season-long loan spell at Valencia should he continue making regular starts for Los Che before the New Year. The 21-year-old has joined the La Liga side for the duration of the 2017-18 season and has made nine appearances in all competitions, four of which have come from the start.

Pereira has contributed one goal and two assists during that period for Marcelino's side, who are second in the tabl just four points behind early leaders Barcelona.

But with United having a clause in place to recall Pereira in the middle of the season, the club have sounded out the Brazil youth international ahead of a possible return, according to Plaza Deportiva.

Reports suggest United have told Pereira a return to Old Trafford could be considered if he continues to make regular starts for Valencia between now and the end of the year.

The form of Gonçalo Guedes and Carlos Soler, who has himself been linked with a move to the 20-time English champions, has restricted Pereira to fleeting appearances this season.

Marcelino has deployed Pereira mainly on the left wing but should he return to United for the second half of the season it is likely his opportunities would come in midfield, where the club are suffering an injury crisis.

Paul Pogba, Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini are all currently unavailable, a plight that forced Mourinho to give 20-year-old Scott McTominay a full Champions League debut in thewin over Benfica.

Mourinho has made no secret of his anger over Pereira's decision to spend a second season in a row away from United, having spent the 2016-17 campaign at Granada.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Could Make Man United Return this Year, Says Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho is confident Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be available for Manchester United before the end of the year. The Swedish striker - who has been regularly updating his Instagram followers of his rehabilitation from a knee injury - has this week begun doing some very light ball work with the club's coaching staff at Carrington. Ibrahimovic signed a new one-year deal at United on August 24 after the first serious injury of his career cut short a stellar first season at Old Trafford earlier this year. The player's doctor Freddie Fu has warned against rushing his return and United boss Jose Mourinho had previously suggested he will not play for the club in January but has reassessed that prediction. "(Paul) Pogba is not here I don't know when he will be back," he said. "Zlatan is working under our control here as I would expect.
