Facundo Pellestri has been denied the chance to make his Manchester United debut after testing positive for coronavirus. The Uruguayan was signed on deadline day in the last transfer window after a £8m fee was agreed with Penarol.
At the age of 18, the now-19-year-old has been touted as one for the future. The teenager has been playing for United's Under-23s this campaign, making six appearances, scoring twice and setting up one.
But he was in line to make his first-team debut on Saturday night when the Red Devils take on Watford in the FA Cup. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen on rotating his squad, with the likes of Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes and Aaron Wan-Bissaka all utilised heavily in recent weeks.
