Manchester United outcast Facundo Pellistri is being tipped to be one of the best players in the world.

Though yet to make his United debut two years in, Pellistri has been backed by former Uruguay international Carlos Alberto Aguilera to become one of the standout players in world football.

As quoted by El Observador, he said: “I saw him for the first time in Las Acacias when he was 10 or 11 years old. At that age, he already had technique in speed. Besides, he was good to watch. Do you know how many kicks they gave him? So many.

"There is a reason why Manchester United bought him.

“Facundo is going to be one of the best players in the world. I have no doubts. He has enormous potential."
