Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is eager to keep hold of Facundo Pellistri.

While the Uruguay midfielder is likely to leave on-loan this month, Ten Hag is eager to see him secured to a new contract.

The Manchester Evening News says United are making positive progress in new contract talks with Pellistri's agents.

Ten Hag wants the youngster to pen new terms before being released for loan.

And the Dutchman is pushing him towards FC Twente for the new season.
