Manchester United have been warned that they could lose “one of the best players in the world” Facundo Pellistri shortly after the World Cup.
The young Red Devils’ striker has been named in the Uruguay squad for the tournament alongside the likes of former Liverpool and Man Utd forwards Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani. It remains to be seen quite how many opportunities he will be handed by boss Diego Alonso but his own agent has backed Pellistri to seal a big-money move in the January transfer window should he enjoy a standout tournament.
Edgardo Lasalvia said: "I think that with a good World Cup, as we think it will have, his departure is imminent.”
