There have been over two years, 801 days to be precise since Facundo Pellistri signed for Manchester United from Penarol for £9million in October 2020, but the forward is yet to play at Old Trafford, despite spending that much time at the club.
Pellistri has watched from the stands, he's watched from the bench, but he hasn't stepped foot onto the pitch at Old Trafford, or any other pitch to make his debut, for that matter, although his patient wait might finally be rewarded next week.
United play Burnley in the League Cup at Old Trafford on Wednesday 21 December and that fixture has been earmarked as the game Pellistri could make his debut in, with Erik ten Hag's first-team options only just returning from the World Cup.
