Manchester United forward Facundo Pellistri’s prospective loan move to Granada has been put on ice for the time being.
The Uruguayan international had garnered interest from a host of clubs including Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven, LA Galaxy and Granada, with the player choosing to join the latter.
However, the La Liga outfit are only willing to contribute a portion of Pellistri’s £20,000-a-week salary, according to Mail Sport. This has caused a roadblock in negotiations between the two clubs despite the winger being keen on the move – though talks haven’t drawn to a close just yet.

Pellistri’s potential exit could leave Erik ten Hag short of options in attack, especially during a season in which United have faced a debilitating injury crisis. The report adds that the board are actively trying to tie down youngster Omari Forson to a new deal after he made his debut in the FA Cup win over Wigan Athletic.
19-year-old Forson has received approaches from rival clubs ahead of his contract expiration in the summer.
