Facundo Pellistri Set for Loan Move to Granada in Spain
Manchester United winger Facundo Pellistri is set to complete a loan move to Granada in the next 48 hours. The 22-year-old Uruguay winger will be traveling to Spain on Tuesday to undergo a medical with the La Liga club. Pellistri has made 14 appearances for the Red Devils this season, but he has been limited to just one Premier League start.
The return of Amad Diallo is set to further limit Pellistri’s game time, and the winger is eager to move elsewhere for regular first-team football. Pellistri was an unused substitute in Sunday’s 4-2 FA Cup win against Newport County, and United have now given the green light for his move to Granada.
Pellistri will sign on loan for the remainder of the season, with no option to buy. Manchester United hopes that the opportunity for regular football will aid Pellistri’s development. It is worth noting that Pellistri has previously had two loan spells with Granada’s rivals, Alaves, so he is familiar with the area.
Granada currently finds themselves second from bottom in La Liga, having only won twice all season. This loan move could provide Pellistri with valuable playing time and experience in a competitive league.
