Departure from Old Trafford
Young player Facundo Pellistri of Manchester United is expected to finish his loan move out of the team. Prior to joining La Liga team Granada, the 22-year-old Uruguayan has reportedly traveled to Spain, per Fabrizio Romano.
According to reports, the two teams have been in negotiations for most of January over a deal that would have seen the highly-rated young player spend the remainder of the season on loan with the struggling team, who are currently 19th in the top flight of Spain.
There is no way to make the changeover permanent; it’s just a straight borrowing arrangement. Despite playing in 14 United games this season, Pellistri has only started one Premier League match, the Red Devils’ home loss against Crystal Palace.
In the year 2020, he made the move from the Uruguayan team Penarol to Old Trafford. In the past, he had spent two stints on loan with Alaves, which played in La Liga.

I am really thrilled and very eager, and I can’t wait to be on the pitch that we are playing on. “I believe that it is a dream come true for me, and I hope that I am able to cope with the challenge.”
