Manchester United are ready to sanction the departure of their 22-year-old Uruguayan international Facundo Pellistri.
According to a report by Football Insider, Manchester United have already made a decision regarding the future of Facundo Pellistri. The Red Devils are ready to sanction his sale if they receive an ideal offer in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Pellistri’s failed United move
Pellistri joined United back in 2020 from Penarol for a reported fee of £9 million. He was considered one of the best young prospects in world football back in the day and that is why the Manchester-based club did all in their powers to land him at Old Trafford.
But, unfortunately, the move hasn’t worked out as planned. Since making the move to England, he has only featured in a total of 24 matches and the majority of those appearances have come off the bench.
The 22-year-old winger has failed to break into their first team and has also had loan spells away from the club. While Erik ten Hag wanted him in his ranks for the 2023/24 season, the Dutch manager could only give him around 380 minutes of first-team football over 14 matches during the first half of the season.
Things were unlikely to change, as a result, they decided to send him out on loan in the winter. Granada came calling and managed to sign him on a straightforward short loan until the end of the season.
United ready to sell Pellistri
While the Uruguayan international is all set to return to his parent club in the summer, he is no longer a part of their plans moving forward. The Red Devils are expected to offload quite a few of their players in the off-season as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INOES are looking to transform the club.
Pellistri is one of the players that they are ready to part ways with. United feel he is unlikely to help them and are ready to move him on. However, they will only sell him on their own terms.
The Red Devils will sanction his departure if they receive an amount they feel is good enough. They are looking to make a profit having signed him for just £9 million back in the day.
