Manchester United manager Eric ten Hag has blocked Facundo Peristilli’s loan move to Valencia.
Peristri is rumored to be leaving Old Trafford this month, with many clubs interested in his services.
In addition to Flamengo, Valencia and Bologna were also keen on the Uruguayan.
Peristri’s agent, La Silva, said many other clubs across Europe have been in touch to inquire about availability for his clients.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Peristri is unlikely to leave on loan before the window closes on Tuesday.
Romano reports Ten Hag has rejected Valencia’s inquiries about the 21-year-old winger.

Ten Hag seems to be counting on Pellistri now, and the player seems to have violated his plans.
Against Redding, the attacker came on as a substitute and produced another good cameo. Peristri also contributed to United’s 3–0 win in the first leg of his Cup against Carabao against Nottingham Forest.
Ahead of the game against Reading, Ten Hug confirmed that Peristri will be given the opportunity to impress, like Alejandro Garnacho.

One player who could be on loan is Anthony Elanga. The Swede has suffered for a few minutes this season.
Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund are fans of United Academy graduates, as are PSV Eindhoven, who are in need of forwards following the departures of Kodi Gakpo and Noni Maduke.
Elanga is subject to up to 10 clubs, according to Romano.
No final decisions have been made regarding Elanga’s immediate future and the situation will become clear in the next 24-48 hours.

From this it is clear that Peristri moved above Elanga in the hierarchy.
