Facundo Pellistri may have caught Erik ten Hag’s eye, but his true Manchester United breakthrough looks set to be delayed again.
The 21-year-old has been at Old Trafford for almost three years, having signed from Penarol during the reign of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. However, he is still waiting for his first senior start, having thus far failed to make the grade.
Solskjaer sent the forward on two loan spells during his time in the dugout, while his successor has opted to keep him at Carrington for his first season in charge. And although he has only been given six competitive appearances, Pellistri has impressed his new manager.
