Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has hinted Facundo Pellistri could play a key role for the club in the second half of the campaign - despite being linked with an exit.
Pellistri has been on United’s books for two-and-a-half years after joining the Red Devils from Penarol but has yet to make a first-team appearance for the club under a succession of managers - despite being promised minutes.
He spent 18 months on loan at Spanish club Alaves, where he made 35 appearances without finding the net. However, he did impress for Uruguay at the World Cup – featuring in all three of their group stage matches and starting twice.
