Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves tell Erik ten Hag to start Man United youngster after impressive cameo against Real Betis

Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves have called for Manchester United forward Facundo Pellistri to been given more game time by Erik ten Hag after he made an eye-catching impact off the bench against Real Betis on Thursday.

Pellistri has not made a single start for United this term, but was brought on in the 81st minute at Old Trafford to replace Antony with the Red Devils searching for a fourth goal.

They duly got it two minutes after his arrival, with the Uruguayan playing his part in the goal before Wout Weghorst applied the finishing touch.
