Manchester United forward Facundo Pellistri’s future continues to be the subject of talks between the club and his agent.
Pellistri, 21, recently appeared in the League Cup as a late substitute, assisting Marcus Rashford v Charlton Athletic, and making a notable impression.
That was his United debut, and having already represented Uruguay on ten occasions, one of the talent’s representatives has confirmed they are keen to get him playing games.

‘Many Options’ – Says Agent Edgardo Lasalvia
Pellistri joined Manchester United in October 2020 from Uruguayan side Penarol. He only made his first-team debut earlier this month and hasn’t featured since.
The right-sided winger has already had two loan spells in Spain with Deportivo Alaves, where he failed to land a blow in 35 appearances.
He definitely possesses some talent though, as he hinted at v Charlton, and was also very much involved for Uruguay at World Cup 2022 in Qatar, despite not having debuted in a United shirt at the time.
His agent, Edgardo Lasavlio, told journalist Sebas Giovanelli: “We are clear that Manchester United wants Facu Pellistri to stay at the club, he is one of the greatest in the world. However, we need him to play.
“There are many options in Europe for him.”

Pellistri has many options to spend further time away from the club, as his agent confirms. Offers for a loan include Bologna, Flamengo and Valencia, according to Fabrizio Romano.
If the winger has plans on making an impact at Manchester United and does go out on loan, he will surely have to perform to a high level to convince those at Old Trafford he is more than a squad player.
