Manager is pushing to sign Man United player, deal to sign him “almost there”
Manchester United want to offload a number of players before the transfer deadline on August 30th.
The Red Devils have been active this summer in signing and selling players and in the final stages of the transfer window, they are expected to do the same.
They have managed to sign Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui this summer while they have sold the likes of Mason Greenwood, Donny van de Beek, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and others.
A few more players are expected to depart Old Trafford and the latest could be Facundo Pellistri who is heading to join Panathinaikos.
According to transfer expert Fabrizrio Romano, the Man United player is being chased by Panathinaikos and the manager is keen on signing the player.
The deal to sign the Man United player is “almost there” as per the latest update.

New Panathinaikos head coach Diego Alonso is a fan of the Man United player. The Uruguayan head coach is admires the Uruguayan international, who represented his country at the Copa America this summer.
Pellistri failed at Man United despite huge expectations
The player has not made a huge impact for the Red Devils and after spending time on loan moves away from the club, he is finally set to be sold by the club.
Pellistri was part of the Man United team that lost the Community Shield against Manchester City at the beginning of the season.
The player was largely responsible for Bernardo Silva scoring a late goal to give Pep Guardiola’s the opportunity to take the match to penalties.
As manager Erik ten Hag is blessed with too many options in the wide positions, he is ready to let Pellistri leave the club this summer.
Pellistri has made 24 appearances for the club since moving to Old Trafford but after showing early promise, his future is set to be decided soon and he is going to become the latest player to depart.
