Manchester United sign Uruguayan teenager Facundo Pellistri | OneFootball

Manchester United have made Uruguayan winger Facundo Pellistri their fourth and (likely) final Deadline Day signing. It’s believed the fee is in the range of £8m to £10m.

The 18-year-old arrives from Uruguayan giants Peñarol, who were managed by former Manchester United striker Diego Forlán until the beginning of September.

United have signed the teenager on a five-year deal, which includes an option to extend his contract a further year.

“Our scouts have followed Facundo for a long time and we believe that he will be a real talent for the long term,” manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said.

“Whilst we understand it will take time for him to adapt to the English game, he is capable of having an impact with his pace and ability to beat his opponent.

“Facundo has the perfect platform at Manchester 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.”
