For Manchester United’s matchup with Brighton, four right-sided strikers might not be available. The starter must be Facundo Pellistri.
Last season, a reporter could be seen turning to his colleague in the background and saying, “Who?” when Facundo Pellistri was mentioned during a press conference at Carrington.
A dozen appearances over the course of three years, all in one calendar year with just one start, do not constitute success. Pellistri is also not being criticized as a failure.
Pellistri played key parts in goals against Leeds and Real Betis. He also assisted Marcus Rashford in his debut against Charlton, set up a chance for Wout Weghorst at Nottingham Forest, and assisted against Charlton and Charlton. Tyrell Malacia could have scored a tie-breaking goal with United leading 2-0 in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal matchup with Sevilla if he hadn’t sneaked the ball to him. They suffered a 5-2 overall loss.
Preseason goals have been scored from Derby to Dublin via Bangkok. Pellistri has a habit of initiating events whenever he plays for United.
Pellistri is a charming young man with an uncomplicated haircut who is a superb speaker. In the two mixed zones he has stopped in, both following starts, he has emanated warmth.
His lone competitive appearance came in Seville against Real Betis, with United leading the tie 4-1 after the first leg of the Europa League. 892 days into Pellistri’s United career, he made his full debut.
