Manchester United midfielder Facundo Pellistri was proud to play in a first World Cup last season.

Pellistri made Uruguay's squad for their Qatar campaign.

He told manutd.com: "Well, it was a good season. And, luckily, we could classify for the Champions League. That was the main focus we had in pre-season. Also, we could win the Carabao Cup. Of course, it was a long season, full of matches and I gained a lot of experience here. So I'm happy to be here in this club and to have my full first season being a Manchester United player.

"Playing a World Cup, also at my age, is something unbelievable. To play for your country is unbelievable. Imagine playing a World Cup for your country. As you said, it was in the middle of the year, so I was recovering also from my ankle injury.

"Luckily, I could go to the World Cup and it helped me to get more experience."
