Manchester United fans were quick to react after youngster Facundo Pellistri posted a picture of himself and Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez on social media.
The 20-year-old winger, who arrived at Old Trafford in October 2020, scored in the 4-0 pre-season win over Liverpool in Bangkok earlier this summer.
Earlier this month, United manager Erik ten Hag confirmed that Pellistri would be sidelined until at least September because of an ankle injury. He was forced off in the closing stages of United's 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in their penultimate pre-season friendly.
