Manchester United are in advanced talks to offload Facundo Pellistri to Flamengo this month on a loan deal until the end of the season.
Pellistri made his Manchester United debut earlier this month with a six-minute cameo against Charlton in the FA Cup. His game time has been limited since joining the club in 2020 and his progress and development could be limited if he doesn’t start playing regular football.
Now, according to O Jogo, Manchester United are in advanced talks with Flamengo to send Pellistri out on loan this month. Interestingly, the report claims that the deal would include an option to buy, so it appears United are willing to allow him to leave on a permanent deal in the summer.
Pellistri has spent some time out on loan since joining Manchester United, but the fact they are willing to allow an option to buy confirms that they don’t see a long-term future for him at the club.
The emergence of Alejandro Garnacho may have influenced United’s decision, with the young Argentine bursting onto the scene this season, playing in a similar position to Pellistri.
Pellistri is a huge talent more than Anthony Elanga. He can challenge Antony for the right wing, as he can take on players more than Antony who loves to pause the play unnecessarily a5is afraid to take on defenders.
Pellistri is the speedy and electric right winger on this team.
A loan move for playing time makes sense, but to include a buy out clause is not right.
I totally agree with you I think he deserves the opportunity to shine,I like how he takes his man on and can cut in and out which is what Man U needs.I personally think they are silly to let him go out on loan
Poor reasoning from mr Big head why let this young talent leave. He is better than elanga the only difference is elanga gets game time while Pellitri gets none but he is good n direct. We need competition in this team let the boy stay
