Facundo Pellistri will look to secure a permanent transfer away from Manchester United during the January transfer window, according to reports.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signed the 20-year-old winger from Uruguayan side Penarol for £9million in 2020. However, he is yet to make a senior appearance for the club.
Erik ten Hag gave Pellistri a chance to impress during United’s pre-season campaign but the winger failed to make his mark and slipped further down the pecking order.
