Manchester United youngster winger Facundo Pellistri is set to join La Liga side Alaves on loan for the rest of the season.
A deal for the 19-year-old Uruguayan star has been agreed in principle with the La liga club.
Facundo Pellistri is yet to make a first-team appearance for Manchester United, having joined them from Penarol in October for £9m.
He made two EFL Trophy appearances for the club’s U21s, scoring in December’s defeat by Accrington.
“There has been talks and there’s been quite a few clubs interested in Facundo to go out on loan and that’s maybe something we will let him do now,” Solskjaer said earlier this week, when comparing Pellistri to new signing Amad Diallo.

“He’s had a few games in the reserves. We want him to have regular football, of course, at a high level of course.
“With Amad, I think it’s a different scenario. He’s just come in, he’s going through a good training regime and training programme and he’s doing well. It won’t be too long, I feel, before I can bring him into the squad.”
