Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes believes Facundo Pellistri deserved to start against Bayern Munich.

The Uruguayan winger did not have his best game, but was a threat to the German defence for most of the contest.

Pellistri, whose side lost the game 4-3 due to defensive and goalkeeping errors, started only his second competitive game for the club.

Post-game, Fernandes said: "Pellistri is one of the players that deserves his chance. He deserves a lot of credit for everything he has done for the team.

"He is someone who is always available, always training hard and someone who deserves his chance.

“He did well today, he did the job the manager asked him to do and we are all happy for him because he really deserves to get his chances."
