FACUNDO PELLISTRI is set to leave Manchester United on loan, subject to Erik ten Hag’s approval.
The club have agreed a deal with Granada for the winger to join the LaLiga side until the end of the season.

Fabrizio Romano reports that all parties are waiting on Ten Hag to give the “green light” on the deal.
Ten Hag may feel that his attacking options are limited following Marcus Rashford’s latest disciplinary issues.
The forward was dropped for United’s 4-2 FA Cup victory over Newport yesterday after reporting too ill to train last Friday.
That was despite him being pictured in a Belfast nightclub on Thursday, and flying back to Manchester on Friday morning.
The Dutchman has said that the issue is an “internal matter” and he will “deal with it” after dropping the England star from his squad.
Despite United growing short of attackers, Pellistri was an unused substitute in yesterday’s clash with Newport – perhaps indicating his place in the pecking order under Ten Hag.
