Erik ten Hag gives verdict on Facundo Pellistri's first start for Manchester United

Erik ten Hag was "pleased" with Facundo Pellistri's full debut for Manchester United in the 1-0 win against Real Betis.

Pellistri started for United 892 days after his transfer from Penarol in October 2020 in what was only his seventh appearance for the club.
