Man Utd winger Pellistri outstanding for Alaves in Cadiz draw

Manchester United winger Facundo Pellistri is impressing for loan club Alaves.

Pellistri is continuing to impress during his loan spell in La Liga.

The teenager is still getting used to European football after moving from Uruguayan side Penarol last year and is making the most of his stay at the Mendizorroza.

He earned widespread praise for his display in a 1-1 draw against Cadiz at the weekend, causing problems with some enterprising wing-play. Pellistri attempted [6] and completed [4] more take-ons than any other player on the pitch.

The 85 minutes Facundo managed in this weekend's draw is his longest single outing since moving to Spain during the January window.
