New signing Facundo Pellistri proved his capability to play for Manchester United by scoring his first-ever goal for the club as the Under-23s vanquished Southampton.
Within 30 seconds into the game, Pellistri scored the second goal for the team and even hit the crossbar once to help United win.
The Uruguayan youngster had been name-checked by first-group manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as he addressed the media in front of the end of the week conflict with West Ham. The Uruguayan winger is yet to make his senior bow for Manchester United since showing up from Penarol in the mid-year, yet his administrator has been satisfied with his spotlight and talked about him on Friday
Solksjaer said: “Facundo has come in, trained with the first-team, done well, we felt now is time for him to get game time, and he’s played a couple of games in the reserves and is gradually settled in nicely and getting more used to us.”
Pellistri has been checked in for two Champions League crews so far since moving to United however didn’t fall off the seat against either PSG or Istanbul Basaksehir. And keeping in mind that some saw Solskjaer’s words on Friday as a clue that he would before long be making his first-group bow, it was, even more, a ‘prop up youngster’, as United cautiously screen his advancement, not having any desire to toss him into senior undertakings too early.
Unquestionably, with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood, Juan Mata, Dan James, and Jesse Lingard all in front of him in the fight for wide assaulting functions, there’s no compelling reason to surge. He has even more time to developing now, as a lot of players are contributing in attack from that position.
In any case, Solskjaer and United staff will without a doubt be pleased with his most recent advance in English football. We all hope to see Pellistri rising from Neil Wood’s young squad to Solksjaer’s first-team squad. Only Time will speak of his advancements for the club.
