Facundo Pellistri has admitted he may not be part of Erik ten Hag’s plans at Manchester United next season, and could have to look elsewhere during the summer.
The 20-year-old has spent the last 18 months away from Old Trafford on loan with Spanish side Alaves, but has struggled to make an impact. Of the 23 appearances he has made this season, only six have been starts, and he is yet to record a goal or assist in the 35 games he’s played since first joining the club in January 2021.
Despite Alaves’ struggles in La Liga – they are rooted to the bottom of the table and six points from safety with just five games remaining – Pellistri has been unable to tie down a regular place in the side. His last start came back in December, with the Uruguay international making 16 appearances from the bench since.
