Manchester United winger Facundo Pellistri’s move to Granada has come to a standstill as the Old Trafford club try to convince Omari Forson to stay.
Uruguayan Pellistri wanted to move to La Liga, but Granada only offered a symbolic contribution to his salary.
Talks are ongoing and other clubs are interested, but the other concern for United is that talented 19-year-old Omari Forson has yet to commit to a new contract and Erik ten Hag wants to ensure there is sufficient cover if Pellistri leaves .
Forson, who made his debut in the FA Cup win over Wigan Athletic and has been described as ‘exceptional’ by academy director Nick Cox, is out of contract this summer and has yet to agree a new deal.
If he doesn’t commit, United may have to consider what role he plays between now and May. The England U20 international has interest from rival clubs and was previously linked to the academies of Tottenham and West Ham.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils want to ensure that youngster Omari Forson remains at the club
United expect Dan Gore to complete his move to Port Vale today, while Accrington Stanley have reignited interest in United’s Czech goalkeeper Radek Vitek.
Cardiff City have expressed an interest in defender Will Fish while he is on loan at Hibernian, but the recall date for the 20-year-old has passed, meaning he will remain in Scotland.
Meanwhile, United continue to be linked with a move for Bayern Munich’s ex-Stoke City striker Eric Choupo-Moting, but late loan talks are yet to take place.
