Despite having already made 10 appearances for Uruguay, Facundo Pellistri only made his first senior appearance for Manchester United in the Carabao Cup victory over Carabao Cup on Tuesday night. The 21-year-old came on for the final few minutes, and still managed to record an assist for Marcus Rashford.
The young attacker, given his lack of action for the Reds, has been linked with a move away in recent months. Prior to the World Cup in Qatar, Pellistri's agent admitted that his client could look for a transfer away from Old Trafford in search of regular game time. He featured on three occasions in the Middle East and impressed on a few occasions.
Pellistri featured in the EFL Trophy victory over Barrow, and has been named on the first-team bench 14 times so far this term. The forward doesn't appear to have convinced Erik ten Hag yet, but his quality is undeniable and the Dutchman will be cautious about letting the player leave permanently.
