Manchester United will decide the immediate future of Anthony Elanga and Facundo Pellistri TODAY as both stars consider possible January loan spells away from Old Trafford.
Manchester United will decide on the future of Anthony Elanga and Facundo Pellistri on Tuesday.
Erik ten Hag has been considering loaning out both Swedish forward Elanga and Uruguayan winger Pellistri to increase their playing time.
United’s top decision-makers will meet on Tuesday to determine the immediate future of Elanga and Pellistri and whether they will be allowed to leave the club.
United have yet to decide whether youngsters Facundo Pellistri (left) and Anthony Elanga (right) can go on loan this month.
Elanga is keen to leave Old Trafford after finding himself a peripheral figure under Ten Hag following his breakout season under Ralf Rangnick.
PSV Eindhoven, Borussia Dortmund and five Premier League clubs, including struggling Everton, are eager to sign him.
The 20-year-old has impressed in the past two seasons when he was picked, but opportunities have been limited, especially after the recent emergence of Alejandro Garnacho.
Elanga has been linked with a move away for some time, but the density of the upcoming schedule appears to have left United wary about the sale.
Man United boss Erik ten Hag has previously stated his desire to keep the players in January.

Uruguayan Pellistri finds himself in a similar situation and could be handed a loan deal on deadline day despite Ten Hag previously stating his desire to keep the young prospect at the club.
Pellistri has been quietly going about his business since joining Man United in 2020 and only recently made his competitive first-team debut in the team’s League Cup win over Charlton.
The 21-year-old was previously loaned out to Deportivo Alaves and is keen to get more first-team minutes, be it at United or elsewhere.
The Red Devils have also loaned talented forward Charlie McNeill to Newport County and defender DiShon Bernard to Portsmouth.
