'I really love the way he plays': Edinson Cavani reveals admiration for fellow Uruguayan Facundo Pellistri after the exciting teenaged winger signed for Manchester United on deadline day

Edinson Cavani has admitted he really enjoys watching 18-year-old winger Facundo Pellistri in action after the Uruguayan pair signed for Manchester United on deadline day last week.

Ex-PSG striker Cavani signed on a free transfer last week, penning a two-year deal, while Pellistri moved to sign exciting teenager Pellistri from Uruguayan side Penarol at the eleventh hour.

Pellistri, who only made his professional debut in August 2019, was something of a surprise acquisition at Old Trafford for £10m but Cavani has divulged some detail of the player United fans can expect in the years to come.
