Posted on August 20, 2021 in WAFC

A lot of Manchester United youngsters are currently being monitored by several clubs for a possible loan move and Facundo Pellistri is surely one of them. The Uruguay international starlet has caught the attention of a host of clubs both in England and in Spain following his brilliant form in pre-season for the Red Devils.

Signed in the winter transfer window of last season, Pellistri has impressed both United and his possible suitors by showing signs of his immense talents and excellent football mentality. The youngster spent last season on loan immediately after he was signed by United and manager Olé Gunnar Solksjær believes he has a long-term figure at the club.

However, Solksjær knows quite well that it would be very hard for him to play games this season and hinted that he could be sent out on loan again this season. Spanish La Liga club Alaves were the first club mentioned to be interested in signing the young attacker, but he has since been linked with some other clubs as well. Aston Villa and Crystal Palace were mentioned as some of the clubs lining up a loan move for him this summer but there is a new team on that list at the moment.

According to reports from the Daily Independent, Wigan Athletic have expressed interest in signing Pellistri this summer as they want to help him gain some more match fitness by playing more games this season. The player desires to remain at the club and has revealed that he wants to play for United this season but with how tough that would be, he is expected to seal another loan departure from Old Trafford even though it is not yet clear where he will be playing his football next season.
