It looks like Manchester United might be getting one of their attackers out of the door.
After opening the league with a win against Fulham, there was just as much attention on who wasn’t playing compared to who actually was.
Jadon Sancho took all the headlines, as the attacker wasn’t even in the squad for the game.
Another player who didn’t make it was Facundo Pellistri.
The Uruguay international played a part in the FA Community Shield, but was nowhere to be seen against Fulham.

This news follows reports that a number of clubs are in for him.
Bologna have recently been credited with an interest in the player.
But it seems that another club is advancing in their negotiations to sign the player.
Fabrizio Romano has tweeted that Greek side Panathinaikos are in advanced talks to sign Facundo Pellistri on a permanent transfer.
Panathinaikos were first credited with an interest in the player around a month ago.
It now seems that the wheels are moving to get the deal done.
Romano states that the deal is not finalised yet, but negotiations are ongoing.
If things progress as they are, there is a chance that Pellistri will leave United in the next few days.
It’s likely the best move for all parties involved.

Panathinaikos, who were knocked out of the UEFA Europa League this week by Ajax after an epic penalty shoot-out, get an international star on their books.
Manchester United get a player off their books who hasn’t quite cut it at Old Trafford.
And Facundo Pellistri will get regular first team football and show the world what he can do.
Still only 22, Pellistri has shown what he can do on the international scene.
Now he just needs to show that he can provide the same level of performance week-in, week-out for his club.
