Manchester United Prepared To Let Youngster Leave On Loan

Manchester United will play Real Betis in the second leg of their Europa League final 16 contest in Spain on Thursday.

Having won the first leg 4-1 at Old Trafford last week, the Red Devils have a commanding lead coming into the game.

With many players vying for more playing time, manager Erik ten Hag may shuffle his team for the game. Anthony Elenga, Jadon Sancho, and Facundo Pellistri will all be vying to start the match.

Meanwhile, Pellistri who has only played six times for United so far this season now appears to be on his way out.

According to The Manchester Evening News, the club are considering sending the Uruguayan out on loan this summer.

The youngster is yet to start a match for United, and his employers have now decided to send him out on loan in a bid to ensure he players more regularly.

The winger joined United from Penarol back in 2020, but didn’t make his debut for the club until January this year.

Despite having not played for United in two years, Pellistri was included in the Uruguay squad for the World Cup in Qatar last year, making three appearances at the tournament.

In January 2021, Pellistri was sent on loan to Spanish side Alaves, and the forward returned to the La Liga side for a second spell in August of the same year.

During his time in Spain, the player made 35 appearances but failed to register a single goal or assist.

Despite that, he did provide an assist within minutes of being substituted on for his United debut against Charlton Athletic earlier this year.

The report also claims that Elanga, 20, is likely to be sent out on loan this summer.
