What can fans expect from Facundo Pellistri?

The 18-year-old joined the Reds earlier this month from Uruguayan giants Penarol, and has already been on the bench for a first-team fixture – Tuesday’s win over Paris Saint-Germain.

But what can Reds expect from the youngster ahead of the clash with Everton, which is being shown live on MUTV?

Well, according to South American correspondent for World Soccer, Tim Vickery, Facundo is similar to a diminutive playmaker who enjoys legendary status on the blue side of Manchester and isn't actually a winger…

“He reminds me a little bit of a young David Silva,” says Vickery.
