Forgotten man Facundo Pellistri is backing Manchester United to continue to make progress under Erik ten Hag, despite looking all the more likely to leave the club.
The Uruguayan, who spent last season on loan at Spanish club Alaves, is, according to his agent, set to leave Old Trafford following the World Cup. Despite joining the club in October 2020, he is still awaiting his debut and has often been overlooked by Ten Hag this season when realistic opportunities have presented themselves.
The 20-year-old has been named on the substitutes bench ten times this term but has not been called upon by Ten Hag once, even when the Reds were starved of wide players in their recent wins over West Ham United and Real Sociedad. It was hoped that Ten Hag, who took a liking to young talent during his time at Ajax, would give Pellistri the opportunity to try and get his Old Trafford career off the ground.
