PELLISTRI CONTINUES TO IMPRESS WITH THE ACADEMY
Facundo Pellestri registered his third goal involvement for Manchester United’s Academy on Tuesday, as our Under-21s faced Accrington Stanley’s first team in the Papa John’s Trophy.
The Uruguayan youngster joined the club on transfer deadline-day and has been training with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first-team squad, while also appearing in competitive games for our younger sides in an effort to acclimatise.
Pellistri caught the eye with a lively Academy debut against Everton in October and claimed his first assist in another Premier League 2 win over Tottenham Hotspur in November, with an excellent cross for Shola Shoretire.
