Man Utd winger Pellistri returns to Alaves on loan for 2021-22 campaign

Manchester United winger Facundo Pellistri has returned to Deportivo Alaves on loan for the duration of the 2021-22 campaign.

Pellistri moved to Old Trafford from Uruguayan outfit Penarol last October, and spent three months in United's U23 set-up before joining Alaves on a six-month loan deal.

The Spanish outfit have now reached an agreement to bring the 19-year-old back to the club for a full season, with the Red Devils happy to sanction his departure so he can take in more regular minutes at senior level.

Alaves have confirmed Pellistri's arrival at Mendizorrotza in an official statement on their website, which reads: "Deportivo Alaves and Manchester United have reached an agreement whereby Facundo Pellistri returns on loan to the club.

"From Deportivo Alaves we wish Pellistri the best of luck in this new stage as an Albiazul player."
