Today, Granada were granted permission for Manchester United winger Facundo Pellistri to go on loan.
Nevertheless, approval has been granted, and the action seems to be about to happen.While the 22-year-old had hoped to join up with fellow Uruguayan coach Alexander Medina at Granada, Ten Hag was anxiоus to secure backup from youthful wingers Amad Diallo and Omari Forson.
Other teams have also shown interest in both forwards.
In the summer, Granada will decide whether or not to make the transfer permanent.
Pellistri remained in Manchester until Tuesday noon, when he was still waiting for the club to give him the go-ahead to fly.Some of his representatives are already in Spain getting ready to meet him, and a flight was planned for 3pm as a precaution.
United have used Pellistri 14 times this season, however he has largely played in the role of substitute.
In 2020, United paid £10 million to sign him from Uruguayan club Penarol when he was 18 years old.
The winger has failed to establish himself as a mainstay on the first squad since signing a five-year contract.
A number of Pellistri’s prior seasons had been spent on loan in Spain, with Deportivo Alaves.
In January 2023, he made his competitive debut as a substitute and assisted in the EFL Cup match against Charlton.
Man Utd attacker advised to mimic Gerd Muller and likened to a weightlifter
Even the granite-carved Serbian, Red Devils legend Nemanja Vidic, had nightmares about the frightening, broad-shouldered power of Chelsea favorite Didier Drogba during his time at Old Trafford. Vidic later confessed that Drogba, and not Fernando Torres, was the hardest striker he had ever faced.A throwback to a number nine who can roll and ragdoll even the most formidable defenders in the league is proving that there is still space for a striker in the modern game, which is likely causing nightmares for a lot of center halves in the Eredivisie.
With two goals in Ajax’s 4-2 victory against Heracles last weekend, Brian Brobbey—who The Mirror has linked with Manchester United—upped his goal count to ten in his past nine games. He ducked inside a close-by center-back, turned, and slammed the opener home; he then doubled his tally with a terrifying shot from just outside the box.
Two finishing touches that are as subtle as they are compassionate, evoking memories of Drogba’s glory days at Chelsea.
United supporter of Ajax forward Brian Brobbey”Brobbey is very much thriving, indeed, Hugo Borst compares Drogba and German star Gerd Muller in his piece for the Algemeen Dagblad.
“Brobbey, I recommend watching Didier Drogba’s videos. However, here’s a hint: “Gerd Muller.”The weightlifter-looking striker can score like there’s no tomorrow. Fifty years ago, Miller scored forty goals in a single season. Your performance is commendable, but you still haven’t scored more than thirteen goals. He is an excellent teacher.
“Indeed, you are strikingly similar.”
While playing for Ajax under Erik ten Hag, Brobbey won the Eredivisie twice. The 21-year-old has just come clean about the fact that United’s manager made an attempt to sign him in 2022. With one of Europe’s most interesting number nines enjoying a career-best run of form, Ten Hag may have been tempted to add Brobbey to his speed dial.
“Nearly identical” to the legendary GermanAccording to statements published by Voetbal Primeur, the famous Marco van Basten—a three-time Ballon d’Or winner—said, “I think he is the best striker in the Netherlands right now.”
In reality, Robbey plays more like a center forward. A person to talk to. His actions speak volumes.
Ten hag confirmed that United were not interested in a center forward in January due to Financial Fair Play concerns, so their pursuit of Brobbey will have to wait until the summer.
At the very least, that should improve with Anthony Martial’s long-overdue exit.
