It seems that Barco is the odd-man-out among the designated players currently on United's roster and after weeks of rumors and fallout it appears his immediate future is set as he will be returning to his home country of Argentina.

The terms of Barco's loan are reportedly for one season and River Plate will have an option to purchase his contract outright as well.
