Erik ten Hag reluctantly performs transfer U-turn on wantaway Man Utd star

Facundo Pellistri is reportedly close to sealing a loan move to Brazilian giants Flamengo, despite Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag suggesting that he'd stay put.

Pellistri, 21, made his Red Devils debut earlier this month, more than two years after signing for the club. The Uruguayan winger gave a good first account of himself, too, helping book United's place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals with an assist for Marcus Rashford.

Post-match, Ten Hag hinted that Pellistri would remain at Old Trafford, having spent much of the past two seasons with Spanish side Deportivo Alaves. Now, though, it appears that the ex-Penarol starlet, who wants more game-time, will be packing his bags again.
