It said he had no symptoms, so it could either be a false positive, he isnt that affected, or symptoms may come later. Hard to say really.

Or just asymptomatic?
Thanks. What's the rules, can he play if he shows negative test?
Would've been nice to see him get a first.
Don’t forget we splashed the cash (reported 9m) on Hannibal as well- only 6 months younger than Amad.
Yeah, i suppose so. But I'd doubt they'd risk it now.
Slightly concerning considering he’s in the first team bubble.
Massive worry if he's got it, the small matter of it was a great opportunity to maybe have him play on Saturday is now gone, but he's in the first team bubble which means it could have spread at the worst possible time.
Could it be a false positive? Maybe he retests and gets clearance? Otherwise hard to say when another good opportunity for debut will arise
Yeah the last thing we need is multiple first teamers catching it just before Anfield
Ole has said in his press conference he wasn't training with the first team over the Christmas period. So we should be fine.
So he hasn't even trained with the first team in the last weeks 
An unwelcome blip, but just a blip.
Ah that's a shame was looking forward to see him play

Get him out on loan, waste of time playing a lad who's been playing first team football in the u23's.
Probably with a view to Daillo playing for the u23s when not in the first team squad.
This is a good sign. Seems the coaching staff at United are confident he can step up now. But who will take him ?
Thinking a Championship side is the most ideal situation at present. Swansea ?

A loan would be great for him. Just hope we pick a club and league that's the right level for him.
Championship would be good, not sure to which team in particular. Maybe help Rooney out at Derby
Great stuff. Nice and proactive. Hopefully an injury free championship loan this year and possibly a PL loan next season.
Don't send him to Swansea, he's already had to acclimatise to Manchester from Uruguay, poor guy.
Loan him to Derby and do Roo a favour
So does it mean he is not even close to being ready to play for our senior team? It’s a shame if true
Surely an English team would be better suited for us? We need to get him used to playing against the likes of Burnley and Fulham.
Didn't realise that the rumours of him going on loan would pick so much traction.
I'd be happy if he plays week in week out. A Championship loan would be my ideal choice.

Send him to Burnley, that’ll properly introduce him to English football.
I think that scouts have realised that you can't always determine a player by what they do in Reserve games. Sometimes certain players have qualities that allow them to adapt quicker to first team top level football than individually impressive Reserve players, and I suspect that Pellistri very much has tangibles that lend him well to first team football.
Has sending out one of our younger players on loan paid off in recent years? Can’t even remember the last time we sent someone out on loan and they came back and looked the business for us... Beckham at Preston?
Henderson did alright, Tuanzebe had a good one at Villa,
If he ever becomes good enough to play for the first team on a regular basis, then it will be a great signing. He certainly isn’t close at this point. Loan is by far the best option.
I’m talking doing the business for us after doing the business for their loan team. Henderson has yet to unseat DDG.
The issue is most of our top young players go straight into the first team. Rashford, Greenwood, Mctominay etc
A championship team that plays good football.
Evans, Welbeck and Lingard (for a couple of seasons)
Championship side please.
Derby need to strengthen, let him go play for Rooney.

100% - it would be class if Rooney can ignite a loan link between us and Derby.
Seems like he's obviously made an impression of half the links are to be believed. Would like to see him loaned to either a Championship or Prem club of possible.
I don’t have much faith in loaning players out, but half a season might not be the worse idea...I just feel the club that gets him won’t have much to gain and therefore his chances will be minuscule at best.
The true talents have tended to go straight into the team because we didn't already have quality in their position. The players who get overhyped in reserve football have gone out on loan and tended not to do that well on loan, or with the next few years of their career post United.
Its hard to imagine Rashford wouldnt have impressed if he went out on loan. But if McTominay, Williams and Greenwood had gone out on loan I'm not sure they'd be where they are in the squad currently. For example at the end of last season Greenwood looked great, taking his goals well and like he has a big future. But Ole was starting him at the start of the season and he didnt look ready at all. If he had been out on loan and put in those performances at the start of last season I'm not sure he would have been given the oppertunity to start banging them in and playing as well as he did later on.
The thing is, giving a bunch of players like McTominay, Williams and Greenwood gametime and a real place in the squad where they're going to play games means that other young players wont get that chance. We're always going to select a bunch of experienced players along with the young players, so someone like Pellistri will very likely be up against Greenwood, Williams, Traore and even people like Van De Beek who havent fully proven themselves at the club yet. Because they wont be taking one of the 5 or 6 experienced player slots, even if they are in different positions.
And then theres other reserve team players who are doing as well as Pellistri like Galbraith and Elanga. They dont occupy the same position but they are all vying for those 1 or 2 spaces on the bench or coming off the bench and having a chance.
Other than loaning these players out and them doing great and coming back a better player ready to play against men, the other way for them to progress is if we clear players out and give them a bit of responsibility replacing those players that they arent as good as yet. Fred and McTominay got that chance from Ander leaving for example. Other than looking great on loan and taking that momentum into the first team, thats very likely the only way players like Garner and Galbraith are going to become good enough - if someone like Fred or McTominay isnt there to play instead of them.
So for Pellistri the obvious wing examples are Mata, Lingard and James. Clear some of that out of his way and he'd also need to be impressing more than the youngsters in other positions, so that the wing isnt somewhere we select one of the experienced players and play a youngster we rate higher in another position.
Pellistri's avenue to getting games in the first team doesn't look that bright because we have Greenwood, Diallo and Ole seems to like James and they all need the football to prove themselves.
So yeah sending him on loan seems the smart thing to do as far as I'm concerned unless we're sending out a bunch of our younger players who already get gametime and then he might actually get a game
