Manchester United 'prepared to loan out Facundo Pellistri'

Manchester United are reportedly open to the idea of summer arrival Facundo Pellistri leaving the club on loan before the end of the January window.

The 19-year-old is yet to make his first-team debut for the Red Devils since arriving from Penarol in October but has been involved on eight occasions for the club's Under-23s and Under-21s.

Pellistri, who has recently been unavailable due to coronavirus, has netted three times for his new club, including twice in Premier League 2 against Southampton Under-23s and Manchester City Under-23s.

According to the Manchester Evening News, United are keen for the teenager to secure regular action at senior level as he continues his development.

As a result, the report claims that the 20-time English champions are prepared to loan him out for the second half of the 2020-21 campaign.

Pellistri, who largely operates as a right-sided attacker, scored twice and registered four assists in 37 appearances for Penarol before moving to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side last year.
