Manchester United youngster Facundo Pellistri is being prepared to take his first team chances this season.

The Uruguayan youngster has only managed 20 minutes of first team action so far this term.

However, uncertainty around Antony and Jadon Sancho at United may lead to him getting many more minutes.

Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa is preparing him for those moments.

“Nahitan [Nandez] (Uruguay teammate) makes it much easier for me in terms of overflows because he is constantly overflowing and passing me," Pellistri told ESPN on Sunday.

"So it makes it easier for me and I can give it to him so that he can shoot the center.

“I take a role a little more inside. The dynamic of the team, once the ball is recovered, is to go with many players on the attack, so more than anything the ones who overwhelm the most are the full-backs.

“He [Bielsa] talks to us a lot individually, shows us corrections and wants a very dynamic team, with fast players, and to go out and press and triangulate quickly. It says a lot to me that he generates spaces behind the defense.

"He also really wants us to come back to help the defense and be a team together, so I think that was a bit of what was seen against Chile: the explosiveness when it comes to attacking when it recovers and also when it comes to having to defend."
