Jose Mourinho touches on the speculation of his potential PSG move and the prospect of ending his career with Man United.

Manchester United loanee Andreas Pereira has apologised on social media after having his licence temporarily removed by a judge for driving almost three times over the speed limit.

Levante reported that the 21-year-old, currently on a season-long loan at Valencia from United, was caught by a speeding radar on Monday afternoon driving his Bentley at 148 km/h on an urban area in Valencia where the speed limit is 50 km/h.

Pereira stood before a judge on Tuesday in Valencia and was fined €3,600 (£3,212) as well as having his licence withdrawn for eight months.

Andreas Pereira is on a season-long loan at Valencia.

The midfielder expressed regret over his lack of judgement, tweeting: "I'm truly sorry for driving in my car at an excessive speed yesterday afternoon, I will accept the punishment given to me."

Pereira added: "It's important to be cautious when driving and always respect the rules. Lesson learned."

The Brazil under-21 international has made six La Liga appearances, three as a starter, to help Valencia, who are unbeaten, climb to second in the table after eight games played.
