Jose Mourinho would be grateful to Carlo Ancelotti if the Brazil boss hands Endrick minutes over the international window.

Endrick enjoyed a fruitful loan spell at Lyon in the second half of last season, registering 16 goal involvements in 21 appearances (eight goals, eight assists).

However, the youngster has been on the fringes of Mourinho's Real Madrid squad this season, clocking up only 140 minutes across seven appearances.

Endrick has started just once for Los Blancos this term, but he has been called up by Ancelotti for Brazil's clashes with Japan and Singapore.

And Mourinho hopes Ancelotti hands Endrick some game time.

He said: "Just look at who's going [to the Brazil national team] with Carlo. Vinicius [Junior,] who must play; Endrick, and if Carlo plays him, I'll be grateful."

While Mourinho claimed Endrick's future is at Madrid, Endrick was not willing to be so committed.

"I just want to play," he said.

"I want to be happy, to help my team-mates. To score goals and provide assists, just as I did at Lyon, which was one of the best things that's ever happened to me and one of the happiest times of my life.

"I don't know what will happen in January.

"That's in God's hands. I'm only 20 and I'll see what happens. I just ask to do what's best for my career. "Whatever happens, happens. I'll keep my feet on the ground and do my best. Madrid is a wonderful city, but I'll always do everything I can to further my career."

However, Endrick is enjoying working under Mourinho.

"Mourinho is someone I really trust," Endrick said. "Every day, he comes up to me and asks how I am, but never about football; it's always about my personal life. I really appreciate that.

"He's one of the first managers to come over, have a chat and make me feel very welcome. I'm very grateful for that. I'll always give my all for Real Madrid, which comes before everything else, but with Mourinho's warmth, I give even more."
