Facundo Pellistri's agent has said that the player's departure from Manchester United is "imminent", with the youngster yet to make a first-team appearance for the club having joined more than two years ago.
Pellistri has had two separate loan spells with Deportivo Alaves and has been capped seven times for Uruguay since joining United. An injury prevented him from leaving on loan this summer and he has been on United's bench several times this season.
While Pellistri was handed one outing in the EFL Trophy, he has not featured in any of United's 17 matches across the Premier League and Europa League.

Pellistri is represented by Equipo TMA and his agent is Edgardo Lasalvia, who was pressed on the United winger in an interview with ESPN Uruguay. Lasalvia said: "I think with a good World Cup, as we think he is going to have, his departure [from United] is imminent."
Despite not yet making his United bow, Pellistri has amassed significant game time at senior level, with 35 appearances across two loan spells with Alaves in the previous two seasons. He has almost three years left to run on his contract should United opt to cash in on the wide forward this winter.
As things stand, he is behind Antony, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Anthony Elanga and Alejandro Garnacho in the pecking order.
