Botafogo eyeing Man Utd attacker Pellistri

Brazilian side Botafogo are showing interest in a Manchester United attacker.

Per Globo Esporte, they are interested in signing United winger Facundo Pellistri.

The Uruguayan has only made one competitive first team bow for United, this week in the League Cup against Charlton Athletic.

Pellistri is likely to go out on loan in January, as he is seeking regular first-team football.

Whether United opt for a loan to South America or one to a European team is another matter.

Another who has been linked to an exit is Scott McTominay, with Give Me Sport being told by journalist Keith Downie that Newcastle had a loan approach rejected for McTominay recently.
