Fenerbahce vs Manchester United - Europa League match preview
Pereira left Manchester United in August and joined La Liga side Granada on a season-long loan.
The 20-year-old seized the opportunity to play regular first-team football after falling out of favour with previous boss Louis van Gaal.
And the Brazil Under-23 international has revealed things are going well in Spain and Mourinho sometimes texts him to check in on his progress.

"My plan is to get more experience here, to get into that rhythm of playing every week at a high level,” Pereira told the Manchester Evening News.
“Then I’ll go back stronger to United, with a better football knowledge.
"I came to Spain to play and get more time on the pitch. With each game I feel that I'm getting better and better.
"I think I have a good future at United and the people at the club give me confidence that that is the case too.
"Mourinho sent me a message a couple of weeks ago asking how everything was going.
“You appreciate that when you're away on loan."
