Cavani explains what Man Utd will get from 'mischievous' Pellistri | OneFootball

Edinson Cavani has told Manchester United what they will be getting from Uruguayan starlet Facundo Pellistri.

The 18-year-old signed with United, along with his compatriot Cavani, on deadline day.

Cavani told the club's website: "Pellistri is a young lad and I really love the way he plays the game.

"He's the typical South American footballer who has that mischievous nature to his game, and the way he lives his football is a bit like, as we say in Uruguay, being on el campito, as we call it, a makeshift pitch where you have a kickabout for fun with your mates or whoever.

"He's a youngster who has a lot to learn but who has a lot to offer too. He's already shown what he can do at Penarol, in the games where he's featured.

"I've liked him from the moment he made his first-team debut at Penarol, I liked him a lot.

"He's coming here to the club, without a doubt determined to learn and mature as a player, but also to make a good contribution here himself.

"Learning his trade here is also going to be a great experience for him.

"So it's going to be good meeting up with him and travelling together on this journey in this new chapter for us both."
