DO MUFC HAVE ANOTHER AMAD FOR US?


After a fantastic spell at the club last season, it seems highly unlikely that Amad Diallo will return to Wearside. However, could Erik Ten Hag already have the perfect replacement for Tony Mowbray, that being in the form of Facundo Pellistri.


Pellistri arrived at Old Trafford from Uruguayan outfit CA Peñarol in 2020 for a fee close to £9 million, signing a five-year deal. Since arriving in England though, he has struggled to make a name for himself. He spent two separate spells out on loan at Spanish side Alavés between 2021 and 2022, with a combined total of 35 appearances in all competitions but failed to make a single goal contribution.


He was back playing for the Red Devils last year, making four Premier League appearances as well as featuring in the Qatar World Cup for Uruguay, which saw him really show his potential, being one of the few bright sparks of an otherwise poor tournament for the South American nation.
