Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira will spend the season on loan with Granada in La Liga after the two clubs agreed on a season-long transfer.
The 20-year-old Brazilian, who made 13 appearances during Louis van Gaal's time in charge of United, trained with his new team-mates in Spain on Friday.
Pereira scored in Jose Mourinho's opening pre-season friendly at Wigan Athletic with a superb drive but the Portuguese manager feels his development will be better served by getting more regular playing time elsewhere.
"I love Andreas Pereira as a player and I would love to have him in my squad," said Mourinho at Friday's press conference. "But he will go to Granada."
Pereira becomes the fifth United player to be loaned out by Mourinho, following in the footsteps of Guillermo Varela (Eintracht Frankfurt), Adnan Januzaj (Sunderland), James Wilson (Derby) and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson (Wolves).
Las Palmas v Granada is live on Sky Sports 5 HD via the Red Button from 5.15pm on Sunday.
