Facundo Pellistri’s agent has criticized Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag suggesting that it will be challenging for the player to thrive under the Dutchman’s leadership. Pellistri (22) is set for a loan move to Granada due to limited playing time under Ten Hag with just 14 appearances since joining in 2020.

Agent Edgardo Lasalvia expressed concerns about Pellistri’s future at United if Ten Hag remains in charge citing a lack of appreciation for the player’s abilities. Despite initially planning for Pellistri to feature more prominently this season, the winger has found himself sidelined prompting frustration.

Ten Hag who also has 18 months left on his contract faces scrutiny amid United’s poor start to the season with decisions about his future ultimately in the hands of Ineos chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
