It was blatantly obvious watching him at the WC that he was criminally underutilized here. Hopefully that changes going forward.

I hope he gets a good loan somewhere. I'd love him to get more chances here, but be needs regularly football right now, and he'll get that better elsewhere. Needs to be the right setup. Otherwise, it'll be good to be able to see him as a long term RW option too. Amad more of a central guy, Pellistri on the right, Garnacho on the left could be very fun.
Would be amazing. The future looks bright.
We don't have Sancho available or Weghorst sorted in time for Saturday,so why not give him that other wide substitution option
I think he is not as physically gifted as Garnacho but he brings on board different skillsets. He tracks back more than Garnacho.
But its a mystery why ETH has not played him more often. If Garnacho pissed off ETH during the pre-season tour and took him like 6-8 weeks before coming back on track; I really wonder what Facounda did over the summer that was worse?
I guess it could be related to ETH's intention to justify the expensive purchase of Antony.
i.e. if Pellistri plays and plays better than Antony, people would say ETH has wasted 80m.
If this is the case, Pellistri's playing time would be limited to several minutes here and there at most.

Pellestri may come good for us but let’s not forget we only played Charlton last night. He may look completed different when he’s on against a prem side. He didn’t do much while on loan at Alaves.
they were relegation fodder who sat on the low block. Garnacho would have struggled for playing time there.
Needs a loan where the club is obligated to give him regular playing time. There is a good player in there for sure. I see the flashes everytime I watch him.
Agreed. It's confusing, alright. He looks like a reserved kinda guy also. Not a troublemaker type, where i see a bit in Garnacho. I don't know, mate. Maybe EtH just wants him to be tougher and more aggressive.
Now he just made his case. An excellent one. And we all hope we'll see more of him. Unfortunately, next coming games are maybe a bit too tough for him.
I am sure we all thought the same thing during the pre-season matches too. Productive cameos then too.
ETH's wife?
He needs to be loaned to a championship side like diallo. He needs games in English football. Be good if he went to one of the teams fighting for promotion.
Maybe Carrick could take him at Boro. I think their style would really suit him and the Championship would be a pretty good league for him to get games.
We have a good group of young wide players now. Between Rashford, Garnacho, Antony, Amad, Pellistri that's the wide position sorted for the foreseeable future.
It is obvious Erik is going to start Antony most games because of the amount of money he cost and he may need time to build up confidence to be more of an attacking threat but I also think it makes good sense to have Facundro on the bench ready to replace him if he is not contributing in an attacking sense.
We need competition in all positions and Facundro is a natural RW so I hope he at least stays for the rest of the season and gets a chance to prove himself.

it woosh fast over my head. I don't get the joke
Remember the joke/rumour that Zaha dated Moyes' daughter....
You made me googled EtH's wife. Well, maybe Pellistri missed a grandma figure...
He showed more in 10 minutes then Elanga has shown all season. It’s baffling how underused he’s been so far this season. Really want to see more of him going forward.
If you think of him as Almiron, another quality and tiny South American winger who isn't a big goalscorer (until this year) finally doing it at 28 years old, it's not crazy that Pellistri, who is visibly quality (nimble, smart, aggressive, dribbling and first touch with both feet are good) but has a genuinely non-existent scoring rate and is 21, might need 2-3 years of loans.
He just doesn't seem to want to do it, as does anyone who doesn't join Chelsea or City really, which I imagine means they pay those players more?
Ideally we'd re-sign him to a longer deal and loan him somewhere for 18 months in January, with recall options in place, commit to bringing back Amad in the summer. But those guys are #5 and 6 choice for 2 spots out wide here at the moment, so unless Sancho leaves, I think Pellistri will just get a move from some team desperate for a RW.
He might start for Southampton or Leicester. Those teams have nothing out right, and while Southampton probably wants to start Edozie out right after bringing in Orsic to play LW since he's their own player, they have to be mostly focused on staying up at this point.
He offers more than Elanga ffs!
He got injured by Atletico during our pre-season which is why he had not played much for us. He had to train in a new system with less work put in than others due to his injury, thus Ten Hag might have not felt comfortable throwing him into the deep end of the pool that quickly. Blame Atletico for being unnecessarily rough and aggressive during a pre-season game instead of Ten Hag.
He looks like a decent player to me, works hard and has a wee bit of silk about him too. Would like to see him get game time ahead of Elanga.
So one tweet says he'll seek a loan move the other he wants to stay to prove his worth.
If it was another loan his level is higher than a relegation fighting La Liga club this time.
So I guess that rules out Sevilla!

Yeah true. I became confused if it was same varela that played for us. There was a time some of us were raring him above shaw
That's what I hope happens as well,trouble is one tweet says he's looking for a loan but another says he wants to stay and fight for his place
Neither of these loans would do anything for Pellistri if he wants a future at United.
I was dismayed by United sending him off to play in Spain twice. He needs to go somewhere where he can get used to the pace and physicality of English football.
If he isn't going to in the mix to play wide right in rotation, I agree.
Can you see Erik giving him a chance to do it
Yeah. I heard that news here and learn t that kept him on the bench as well as a return loan ticket. I don't think ETH daughters are in England though
This coach is a good man manager. If he gets impressed by Pellistri attitude, then he can shift him in. Elanga is only playing games because of his attitude so who knows!
Want them swapped on Saturday
Those tweeters have as much idea as yourself and I.
Elanga starting ahead of him is an atrocity and Ten Hag is complicit. I don't know why that is? Attitude problems? Fitness not good enough? Whatever the case, Pellistri could easily compete with Antony for the starting place at present. Keep Pellistri and loan or sell Elanga instead.
He did very well in pre-season and he's done very well for his national team (which are very decent at football by the way). You can only play what's in front of you, so I really don't get the hesitation.
He's good mates with Garnacho so as some have said, perhaps it's something wider than actual footballing ability that's holding him back
If pellestri gets more game time and can compete with Antony for the RW spot then next season we’re gonna have decent choices. Antony, diallo and pellestri. We go from having no RW to having 3

Peestri and Antony are more like for like in that they are more RW albeit different styles. Amad not so and will have many coaches struggling to pigeonhole him into a traditional position.
Great to see that ETH is keeping a close eye on him. Even talking about U23 performances.
