Edinson Cavani says he loves “the way” his teammate, Man Utd new signing Facundo Pellistri, “plays the game.”
Cavani and his South American compatriot signed for the Red Devils on the day of the transfer deadline while Man Utd rushed to make five deals.
Pellistri has spent the last two seasons playing in the top flight in Uruguay with Peñarol. In the last two seasons, he has appeared in 37 games in all competitions and has scored two goals.

And now Cavani has explained how excited he is to bond with the 18-year-old at Old Trafford.
“Pellistri is a young lad and I really love the way he plays,” Cavani told United’s official website.
“He is the typical South American footballer who has that mischievous character in his game, and the way he lives his football is a bit like, as we say in Uruguay, being in ‘el campito’, as we call it, a makeshift pitch where you feel like to have fun with your classmates or with whoever.
“He is a young man who has a lot to learn but also has a lot to offer. He has already shown what he can do in Peñarol in the games in which he appears.
“I liked him since he debuted with the first team in Peñarol, I liked him a lot. He comes here to the club, undoubtedly determined to learn and mature as a player, but also to make a good contribution here.
“Learning his trade here will also be a great experience for him. So it will be good to meet him and travel together on this journey in this new chapter for both of us. “
