Manchester United are poised to announce the outgoing transfer of Brazil youth international Andreas Pereira, according to various reports.

Spanish club Valencia will sign the midfielder on a season-long loan after agreeing a deal with Manchester United, it has been claimed.

Pereira has not been utilized by manager Jose Mourinho this season, having been omitted from the matchday squads against West Ham, Swansea City and Leicester City.

Spanish-based journalist Sid Lowe tweeted : ''Confirmed that Andreas Pereira is on his way to Valencia.''

He added: ''To clarify on Pereira: Valencia have confirmed it (per @carrusel). Loan deal. Could be good for everyone.''

The Lommel United product joined Manchester United in 2011from PSV Eindhoven, and has recorded 13 appearances for the first team of the Old Trafford outfit.
