Read – Man Utd prepared to negotiate to sign £68.4million South American

As per the latest reports in the media, Facundo Pellistri is now close to leaving Man Utd on loan to join Spanish side, Granada.

According to Catalan source, Mundo Deportivo, the Uruguayan international is all set to move to the La Liga club, who are 19th in the table at the moment.

In the current campaign, thus far, the 22-year-old winger has only made nine appearances in the Premier League and started just once.

Therefore, MD claim Pellistri’s personal desire to move to Granada has been the key to the finalization of this loan deal.

Sport Italia journalist, Gianlugi Longari, has also confirmed that Man Utd are close to agreeing a loan deal to secure Pellitsri’s exit this month.

Man Utd lack depth in the wide attacking positions, moreover, first choice wingers, Rashford and Antony, have been in terrible form this season.

Hence, it is surprising that Ten Hag is continuing to offload attackers without reinforcing the department in the winter transfer window.

Pellistri’s current deal with the Old Trafford outfit will expire next year and he takes home a salary of around £20,000 a week.

Have your say – Who should Man Utd sign to strengthen the squad before the transfer window shuts down next week?
