Agent: 'Facundo Pellistri Manchester United exit could be imminent'

The Uruguayan is yet to make his debut for the club and is frustrated with the lack of playing time he has received since his £7.65m move to Old Trafford.

Pellistri is currently behind the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Anthony Elanga and Alejandro Garnacho in the pecking order under Erik ten Hag.

Edgardo Lasalvia, the player's agent, has admitted that an exit could be a possibility in the near future.

"I think that with a good World Cup, as we think it will have, his departure is imminent," he told ESPN.

Pellistri told the same outlet last month that he was hoping to finally get involved with the first team due to the heavy schedule before the tournament and was excited to play under the new manager.

"I am happy to play again, and now Manchester will have an important string of games, so I also hope to get minutes at the club. Erik ten Hag is a good coach, with a very clear idea; I really want to start participating in the team," he said.

Whether the club and the manager will yield to agent and player pressure remains to be seen.
