THE Facundo Pelistri is at its gates Panathinaikou and of course the news does not concern only Greek football news. In England, the issue “plays” on all sites and especially on fila sites adjacent to Manchester United. In the club of the English North for some time there has been one great talk about what happened and the Uruguayan winger did not “catch” at the “red devils”. Several friends of United, in fact, express the opinion through social media that Pellistri was very badly managed and even now they think that he is leaving badly, especially with this amount! We remind you, Panathinaikos managed to close the €18 million that the Manchester team deserved two months ago great deal in 6 “papers”.
The reportage of the website is typical ”unitedinfocus.com”which states that “Manchester United have just made another sale this summer and it was an expected move». And he continues: “The club have already taken in around £51m through player sales this summer, but that figure is set to rise.
THE Mason Greenwood sold in Marseilles, o Aaron Wan-Bissaka went to West Ham, o Willy Kambuala he is now at Villarreal, o Alvaro Fernandez went to Benfica and Donnie van de Beek went to Girona. Now, Facundo Pellistri joins that list, four years after arriving at Manchester United. Established Uruguayan internationalPelistri will now play for Panathinaikos in Greece.
The details of Pelistri’s move to Panathinaikos are that it will cost money just £6 million upfrontwith an additional £1.7m in add-ons and a 30 per cent sell-on clause. It represents an initial “scratch” for the £9m spent to bring him from Peñarol».
And the report continues, stressing that “Manchester United have only themselves to blame” about Pellistri not being able to emerge at “Old Trafford”. It states: “When Pellistri arrived, it appeared to be an inspired move by Manchester United’s recruitment staff, with fans seeing video highlights of him almost making him look like a little Messi.
But very quickly after his arrival it became apparent that a move to United may have been a bridge too far for him. Since then he has made just 25 appearances for the Red Devils – without scoring a goal.
In 2020, when he was transferred, the legend of Argentina Riquelme had nothing but praise for Pellistri, describing the Uruguayan as ”young and talented”.
”He hasn’t played that much but you can see he’s a real worker with the ball at his feet. And that is important. There aren’t many like him around, who have the courage to be so brash on the pitch. This is valuable”.
Given how highly rated he was upon his arrival, it’s easy to see why there might be frustration with his run, but United have only themselves to blame. A series of bad loans it has led Pellistri to struggle to improve and increase his value – an issue we have seen many players suffer at Old Trafford, and United must improve.
Pellistri was sent to Alaves twice and once to Granada, playing under a succession of managers as the relegation-fighting teams changed them like shirts. In any case, it made sense that he failed there, playing for teams that had little possession and at times drained his confidence.».
And he closes:Although he won’t be at United, Pelistri could have a great career in Greece. Playing in a team (including Panathinaikos), which will dominates in most domestic games, it will be very beneficial for Pellistri, who on loan has been sent to teams in the bottom half of LaLiga, where he has had little chance to shine.
The boss of Uruguay Marcelo Bielsa is one of Pellistri’s biggest fans, having used him consistently for Uruguay, which proves he’s got something – even if he didn’t show it at United.
We wouldn’t be surprised to see the 30 per cent clause come in handy, but United may be left wishing for the time being that they had handled his development better».
