According to rumors, Erik ten Hag is planning to give young Manchester United winger Facundo Pellistri a chance to impress him during pre-season this summer.
While on international duty with Uruguay, the promising youngster has struggled to make an impact this season after a brief loan stays with Alaves.
He returned to the LaLiga club last summer after playing the second half of the 2020-21 season there, although he has only made six starts this season.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Pellistri will be given minutes to prove that he merits a place in the first squad next season.
According to rumors, Erik ten Hag is planning to give young Manchester United winger Facundo Pellistri a chance to impress him during pre-season this summer.
Following that, manager Ten Hag is expected to make a choice on how best to continue the forward’s development, with United also looking to strengthen that area.
Another loan term is not ruled out, and the 20-year-old is eager to obtain regular game time next season, according to the same source.
As a result, he’s also admitted that leaving for a while could help him cement his place in Uruguay’s starting XI for the World Cup this winter.
United, who have started a new era under their new manager, is keen to address their long-term problems on the right side, and Pellistri is most suited for this position.
Indeed, he has made all of his senior games for his country on that side, where he has been impressed with three assists in six matches.
Pellistri joined United for roughly €10 million (£8.5 million) in the summer of 2020.
