Andreas Pereira could flourish if Jose Mourinho trusts United's rising star

In among the excitement -- and if we are honest, anxiety -- around who Manchester United will acquire during the transfer window, one of the most interesting additions to their squad may risk going under the radar.

Andreas Pereira has returned from a loan spell at Granada, and the signs are he will be given a chance to win a role in Jose Mourinho's plans for the coming season. Given United's lack of depth in midfield, this is a welcome development.

It is all the more welcome given Pereira's success in Spain. Playing in a side relegated with a goal difference of -52, he nevertheless distinguished himself, scoring five goals in 35 league matches -- a sixth of the team's total.
