Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says that Facundo Pellistri is likely to head out on another loan spell next season.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that Facundo Pellistri is likely to head out on another loan spell for the 2021-22 campaign.

The 19-year-old made his debut for the Red Devils in Sunday's pre-season clash with Derby County and was on the scoresheet in his side's 2-1 victory over the Championship club.

Pellistri spent the second half of last season on loan with Alaves, making 12 appearances for the Spanish club, and Solskjaer has said that the club are planning another loan spell for the Uruguayan.

"I thought he was bright and he took his goal really well," the Manchester Evening News quotes Solskjaer as saying. "Great first touch. Good pass by Shola [Shoretire] but great first touch with sets him up.

"It was a very good goal, the first touch set him up and he's very good at dribbling so going past the goalkeeper wasn't a problem. He was bright when he came on.

"I think he showed what he is because he's a difficult player to play against. One against one he can go past people so very pleased with him. I can see a loan deal for him, there's been loads of interest and for his best interests a loan would be what we look for."

Pellistri, who largely operates as a right-sided attacker, joined Man United from Uruguayan side Penarol last October, signing a five-year deal with the English giants.
