The 20-year-old Uruguayan is yet to make his senior Reds debut after signing from Penarol in October 2020 and he has spent the majority of his time as a United player out on loan, in two separate spells with the Spanish side Deportivo Alaves.

After returning to Manchester, Pellistri travelled on the club's pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia this summer and he impressed when given time on the pitch, scoring our final goal in the 4-0 victory over Liverpool in Bangkok.

Unfortunately, Facundo sustained an ankle injury during the Oslo friendly with Atletico Madrid, which rendered him unavailable for matches until earlier this month.
