The Uruguayan youngster dreams of making his senior debut for the club he joined on transfer deadline day from Penarol in his homeland. He has carefully been integrated into the set-up with his new club, enjoying game-time with the Under-23s and training with the first team over the festive period, under the watchful eye of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has helped him settle in.
Of course, there are others - Edinson Cavani, a fellow countryman, has been a big help and Pellistri's colleagues in the Under-23s have also made the 19-year-old feel welcomed. And do not underestimate the determination of this teenager far from home at a time when a pandemic is disrupting life across the globe.
