After starting in United's opening day 2-1 win against Leicester last week - ending an 897-day wait for a United appearance - the midfielder received his first call-up to the senior Brazil squad on Friday.
Pereira will be hoping to retain his place in Mourinho's first-team when they travel to Brighton on Sunday. The 22-year-old, who spent time on loan at Granada and Valencia over the last two seasons, feels he is now ready to kick on at Old Trafford and become a serial winner under manager Mourinho.We rely on him because he always prepares the team well, He knows what to do.
"He is a winner and he always wants to win, so because he is like that we turn into that and we want to be like him, so we turn into winners as well so it's very important."
Nobody played more minutes than the Pereira during United's pre-season tour of America and his promise has led Brazil manager Tite to name him his 24-man group for their upcoming friendlies against United States and El Salvador.
