Manchester United player can leave ‘in matter of hours’ – Red Devils with transfer favour

Facundo Pellistri has struggled to have a prominent role at Manchester United this season. He’s totalled 366 minutes from 14 games, managing an assist in the process.

Granada are keen on taking the winger on a loan deal this month and on Wednesday Mundo Deportivo stated that the operation is in the final stretch.

Mundo’s claim is backed up by AS, who then add the Manchester United player is ‘getting closer’ to joining.

His contract lasts until 2025 and Erik ten Hag’s side are interested in renewing his deal. It’s said a lack of regular game time at Old Trafford has convinced the 22-year-old to return to Spain, where he was on loan at Deportivo Alavés for 18 months.

AS claim these ‘two compelling reasons’ suggest an agreement to join Granada could be on the cards. They are optimistic of the deal going through as the report states Pellistri could be a new Granada player in a ‘matter of hours’.

With the operation for the Uruguay international, the newspaper suggests Manchester United ‘owe a favour’ to the Spanish club, after cutting short Álvaro Fernández’s loan stay earlier this month.
