Manchester United are close to agreeing a loan move for Facundo Pellistri. If United give the green light, Pellistri will travel to Spain for a medical with Granada, who are interested in a half-season loan.

Since moving to Manchester from Uruguayan club Peñarol in 2020 Pellistri has played just 580 minutes of competitive football for the Red Devils. He was loaned to Deportivo Alavés from January 2021-summer 2022 and was a regular as they slipped into LaLiga 2.
