Joel Pereira , who is the U23s goalkeeper drafted in for Manchester United’s final Premier League game of the season – wants to repay Jose Mourinho for his choice to call him up.

Jose Mourinho drafted in the Portuguese for the final game of the season for his side, a decision that shocked some fans.

But the shot-stopper is grateful for the chance, and wants to repay his manager at all costs.

Mourinho has described Pereira as the “best Portuguese goalkeeper of the next generation” ahead of what could be the 20-year-old’s first start for the Old Trafford side.

And Pereira said: “They’re nice words. Now I need to prove that he’s right.

“When one of the best managers in the world puts confidence like that in you, you can only feel good. I want to pay him back by training and performing well.

“I’m working hard every day and the next step is on Sunday, so let’s focus on that and we will see. It’s a big day coming up for the young players. As the manager said, some of us will get a chance and we’re looking forward to it.

“Hopefully we’ll get a good result, everybody will enjoy it and we’ll play well.”

“We enjoy working together a lot,” he said. “They are two amazing goalkeepers and two great people as well.

“They’re good friends. Anything I need, I know I can count on them and they will always try to help me and tell me what I can do to improve. We have a very good relationship and, when it’s the right time, we have fun as well.”
