Erik ten Hag prepared to sacrifice Facundo Pellistri to give chances to other Man Utd star

Erik ten Hag is prepared to sacrifice Facundo Pellistri to give chances to a different Manchester United star who he feels has a ‘brighter future’.

The 22-year-old is set to join Spanish side Granada on loan for the remainder of the season, in what will be his third spell in La Liga since moving to Old Trafford.

Uruguay international winger Pellistri has struggled for game time this term and normally comes off the bench for the closing stages of matches.

Pellistri, who joined United four years ago, has been an unused substitute in United’s last three Premier League fixtures and is under contract until 2025.
