Manchester United are reportedly set to send youngster Facundo Pellistri out on loan again.
The news comes from ESPN Uruguay who report that the sources close to the player have confirmed to them that the 20-year-old is due to spend another season away from Old Trafford. Pellistri has spent the last two campaigns playing in La Liga at Alaves, where last season he made 20 league appearances for the Spanish side.
However, the expectation for the 2022/23 campaign is that the United youngster will likely be loaned out to a club in Portugal or Italy. Despite scoring in United's 4-0 pre-season win over rivals Liverpool, the Uruguayan hasn't featured in either of the following matches against Crystal Palace or Melbourne Victory.

Pellistri failed to score or register an assist during his time in Spain and it's believed that a loan to a new club will provide the winger with a chance to gain the playing time he needs to reach his full potential.
Elsewhere, United's hopes of signing Ajax winger Antony appear to have increased after fresh reports emerged that the deal is still alive.
According to TalkSport, the 22-year-old winger may still reunite with his former coach as Erik ten Hag looks to bring Antony to the Premier League. Speculation has rumbled on for a while now and recent reports had suggested that a deal was no longer possible, but now there seems to be new hope that United fans could watch the Brazilian at Old Trafford next season.
The Ajax player scored 12 goals and provided 10 assists in 32 games for the Dutch club last season and it is this kind of form that could see United pay up to €70m should they want him to join their squad before the transfer window closes on September 1.
