It took just 28 minutes for Facundo Pellistri to be given a true welcome to English football as he was on the receiving end of a two-footed challenge which saw him fly through the air and land on the Leigh Sports Village turf.
The 18-year-old winger was making his first appearance in a Manchester United shirt on Friday in a Premier League 2 clash with Everton, having signed from Penarol for £9 million ($11.75m) on deadline day.
His fee and the fact he has been thrown straight into the first team bubble, named on the bench against Paris Saint Germain for the Champions League game on Tuesday, means expectations are high.
