Facundo Pellistri is determined to seize his chance and prove he belongs at Manchester United.
The 21-year-old winger was handed his first start by United boss by Erik ten Hag in Thursday’s 1-0 Europa League last 16 win at Real Betis. Pellistri’s first start came 893 days after he signed for United, following two loan spells at Spanish side Alaves.
But now he has made his first start, the Uruguay international - who started for his country at the World Cup - is hungry for more. “The manager really trusts me, so I felt that confidence from him,” said Pellistri. “He told me to run in behind, to get the ball and enjoy the moment.
