Old Trafford boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists the former Penarol starlet has “all the technical qualities” needed to succeed.

And with a loan exit looming, Pellestri’s representative Edgardo Lasalvia said: “We’re working on that, surely Spain is the destination.”
But Solskjaer has stressed: “Facundo has the perfect platform at Man United to develop and he has all of the technical qualities and the right mentality required to become a top player here.
“We are all looking forward to working with him to fulfil his potential over the coming years.”
United recruited £9milion Pellestri after a dazzling scouting report from their ex-striker Diego Forlan.

But he has largely been restricted to Under-23 matches.
And with fellow winger Amad Diallo joining from Atalanta this month, Pellestri is even further away from the first-team reckoning.
Diallo, 18, has already been promoted to Solskjaer’s senior squad, reportedly even leapfrogging Jesse Lingard in the pecking order.
