Prior to his loan spell last season, Pellistri scored three times for United's U23 side and provided one assist in eight competitive appearances.
Nevertheless, the young Uruguayan moved to Alaves in January in order to gain more experience of senior football.
Pellistri did, however, return to the north west for pre-season training ahead of the 2021-2022 season.
The 19-year-old midfielder joined Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side last October but failed to make an appearance. As a result, spent the second half of last season on loan at Alaves. Pellistri will return to Alaves on loan next season, despite impressing by scoring the winner in United's pre-season friendly win at Derby (above)
During that time he made three friendly appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
He even scored what turned out to be the winning goal in the Red Devils' pre-season opener at Derby County.
But Pellistri will continue his development in LaLiga next term, with Alaves announcing he has joined them on loan for the rest of the season.
The Old Trafford club said: 'Everybody at United wishes Facundo all the best this season and we will be tracking his progress closely.'
