Facundo Pellistri has once again found himself on the move, as the young winger has been loaned from Manchester United to Granada. This decision comes after some sharp criticisms were directed towards Ajax manager Erik ten Hag by Pellistri's agent.
Despite making 14 appearances for the Red Devils this season, Pellistri has only been in the starting line-up for three of those games. This is due to the tough competition for spots in United's front three, with players like Marcus Rashford, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, and Amad Diallo all vying for playing time on the wings.
Pellistri's agent, Edgardo Lasalvia, was not pleased with the lack of opportunities given to his client by Ten Hag. In an interview with Uruguayan publication Sport890, Lasalvia expressed his doubts about Pellistri's future at Old Trafford as long as the Dutchman remains in charge. He stated, "If Ten Hag continues, it's going to be difficult. Ten Hag hasn't used him, valued him, or treated him like a professional."
As for Manchester United, they wished Pellistri all the best for the season and promised to closely monitor his progress at Granada. This is Pellistri's third loan spell away from the club, having previously been at Alaves on two short-term deals.
In the midst of all this, Ten Hag has had a lot on his plate as the manager of Manchester United. The team will be facing Wolves on Thursday, hoping to secure their first away win in the Premier League since November, when they defeated Everton.
Speaking about the upcoming match, Ten Hag expressed his confidence in the team's abilities, saying, "I think we are quite confident because on our best days, we can beat anyone. But on our worst days, we go down to certain limits of what is not acceptable, so we have to push our limits to higher levels." He also highlighted the importance of having players return from injury, which will strengthen the team and boost morale.
In other news, there have been rumors of Jose Mourinho wanting to make a surprising return to Manchester United after his recent departure from Roma. However, Sevilla's chief has come to the defense of another Manchester United loanee, Hannibal Mejbri, denying any reports of a rift between the player and the club.
