Pellistri delighted after 'amazing' Man Utd debut goal | OneFootball

Manchester United youngster Facundo Pellistri admits he was delighted to get his first goal for the club's under-23 team.

The Uruguayan arrived on deadline day in a surprise transfer from Penarol.

The winger can play on the right and left, but has not featured for the first team yet.

The 18-year-old has impressed with the under-23s, and got his first goal in a 3-1 win over Southampton's under-23s.

"I'm really happy with the team," Pellistri told United's official site.

"The intensity was very good and, luckily, we take this match as it was very hard. But I'm very happy with that.

"It was amazing [to score]. I was really looking forward to this goal. It is my first goal and I'm really happy with it. Hopefully, more are coming.

"I'm settling in much better. I am enjoying my time here in Manchester, in this club - with the Under-23s and with the first-team. My team-mates are very kind with me and this is a very important reason why I am feeling much better with my performances and life here."
