Manchester United Goalkeeper Renews Contract Until June 2021

Manchester United's Portugal U21 international Joel Pereira has renewed his contract with the Premier League powerhouse.

The highly-rated goalkeeper has appended his signature to a new agreement that will keep him at Old Trafford  until June 30, 2021, according to Portuguese sports daily O Jogo.

The 21-year-old Pereira made his competitive debut for Manchester United when he came off the bench ten minutes from time in an FA Cup fourth round tie against Wigan Athletic in January 2017.

He is rated highly by manager Jose Mourinho, who has tipped him to become one of the best Portuguese goalkeepers of the next generation.

The Swiss-born Pereira started off his career with Neuchâtel Xamax before he was snapped up by Manchester United in 2012.
