Manchester United youngster Facundo Pellistri believes he has gained the trust of his manager in recent weeks.

The Uruguayan was on the fringes of the first team, before grabbing his chance in a few substitute appearances recently.

He was rewarded with a start in a 1-0 Europa League win over Real Betis on Thursday, which saw United book a date with Sevilla for the quarter finals.

"I'm really happy," Pellistri said post-game.

"I really work for this moment, luckily we could win. It was our mission. We came here to win, we could win.

"The manager really trusts me, so I felt that confidence from him. He told me to run behind, to get the ball and enjoy, enjoy the moment.

"And of course, we came here to win. We really liked the long balls in the second half. Marcus could score there and we took the win.

"Hopefully it's the start of this. Of course, I'm hungry. A lot of players in the group are really hungry, we have one amazing group. We all push to the same side. Hopefully, in the end of the season, we can win a lot of trophies."
