Facundo Pellistri has spent two years at Manchester United without making his debut at Old Trafford and that has left supporters, who have watched him start for Uruguay at the Qatar World Cup, confused and wondering why he hasn't played.
The truth is Uruguay have a dearth of right-sided talent and the only competition Pellistri currently has in the squad is Agustin Canobbio, who plays for Brazilian club Athletico Paranaense. Canobbio has contributed three goals and no assists in the 44 appearances he's made in 2022 and even Mundial Magazine-reading football hipsters wouldn't pretend to know who he is.
Pellistri must be the one of only players who has started for his nation at the World Cup without having made his first-team debut for his domestic club, but his starts for Uruguay have hardly been earned on merit, as they have mostly been won by default.
