Manchester United winger Facundo Pellistri has returned to La Liga side Alaves on loan for the 2021-22 campaign, the Spanish club said on Thursday.

The 19-year-old has yet to make a competitive senior appearance for United after joining them from Uruguayan club Penarol in October 2020 for a reported 9 million pounds ($12.53 million).

Pellistri made 12 appearances for Alaves after joining it on loan for the second half of last season as they finished 16th in La Liga.
