Could not agree more. Despite not getting any game time looked way more confident and just natural on the ball.
Even if he is not ready to start, he is clearly an option to bring on, no?

Has lovely technique and some composure to him, which is probably more than Elanga has shown so far.
He’s a lot more direct than Mata and a lot faster I think
I’ll stick to my view. I’m a huge fan. I hope we give him more chances as he has bags of talent. So unselfish.
He played well enough in La Liga, especially against Atletico and Barcelona, and certainly deserved game time a lot sooner. Also international for Uruguay and has shown his abilities for them so no idea why Elanga is played ahead of him.
More minutes please
I hope this is the start of his United career. Looks lively and naturally plays as RW.
Sorry man, I was just trying to be funny...poor attempt.
I think he probably should have started seeing as how ETH changed it up a lot. Was a breath of fresh air when he came on. He is 21....he is ready.
Intelligent.
He takes the ball, drifts to the centre to allow the defender to follow AWB's overlap and finds himself in a much better space to slip a perfectly weighted ball to Rashford. What you'll see is an assist. What you'll miss is some brilliant movement with the ball to make the next pass high percentage.
It's not as if his previous minutes haven't warranted more minutes already. He's been really good in two straight pre-seasons, he's been really good in the World Cup, and shown promise in what few minutes have been afforded to him. I don't like the idea that Elanga is given an abundance of minutes to play himself into some kind of adequate form, but Pellistri has to out-do Elanga with breadcrumbs. It's not even as if Pellistri isn't hard-working. Every time I watch him he offers a lot on defensive transition too.

This is the only puzzle in ETH reign I cant get my head around.
He's always been a talented player and his performances for Uruguay are testament to that.
Charlton was only a League One out fit but he showed a good level of touch, technique and decision making which made a difference and ultimately killed the game off for us.
If he can become a genuine first team option for us, then that will make us stronger going into the second half of the season.

He was great, eh? What a cameo. I’m a massive fan of ETH but I really can’t fathom what he sees in Elanga that is better than this kid. Mesmerising performance.
Looked good for Uruguay at WC so glad he may start getting his chance at United regularly.
Have always thought he’s a baller. Glad to see him getting some minutes, hope it continues
Did well and was calm with the ball. Great cameo going forward, got an assist, could have had two and defended well too
Better than Elanga already. Not even joking. Great decision making on the assist and a lovely technical turn out of pressure in his own area helping out the defence.
Start him Vs Reading.
Start him Vs Reading.
I honestly think if given the chance, he can challenge Antony for that right wing spot.
Elanga's not the only guy Pellestri should be taking minutes from.
Commentators said it was his debut
Is that so?
Good one if so and a good cameo nonetheless
Hope ETH keeps up the play on merit and gives him minutes instead of Elanga next time

He’s miles better than Elanga.
Interesting. I’ve been critical of Pellistri to the point where I didn’t see him making it here. But I liked everything he did tonight. Thought that was very very good.
Must be given Elanga minutes now. A very good option off the bench going forward.
A little bit Kaka this evening, hmm?
Hair too....

Definitely, I'd start him in Carabao Cup too if we draw Forest/Wolves. Him on right and Garnacho on left could be terrific options to have.
He and Garnacho are exactly what Man United wingers should be, constantly looking for the ball, taking on their full back and driving into space, that should be the bare minimum. Can’t wait for his next appearance.
Should be no surprise that he played well considering he was playing for Uruguay in the world Cup and yet I was surprised to see him play well for us.
looked graceful and composed out there. Had the benefit of a tired league one side glsending lots of bodies forward, albeit he took absokute advantage of that.
My guess is he is behind the likes of Elanga purely on physical attributes. Starting him in a prem games definitely looks premature, but I think he would offer more as impact at this stage when we want to finish games off against lower prem teams with that composure and silky game of his.

It will be very difficult to get game time with the competitions on the wings when we still have Sancho to come back
What an impressive little cameo. Definitely one to play when Antony needs a breather.
Has anyone mentioned Elanga yet? Or that they are baffled?
Anyway let the grown ups speak instead of parroting.
I’m sure EtH will note his contribution and he will get opportunities. He’s been very fair with everyone especially younger players who have done well when called upon, such as Garnacho.

Right on, he is a genuine first team contender its just that we have fecked him over with those pointless loans. He should get more chances with the fixture pile up we have over the coming months and I wouldn't be shocked to see him overtaking Antony by the middle of next season if the latter continues with his yo yo form.

Sigh. Hope it's to a good club atleast
The proper decision would be to allow Elanga to go on loan to Everton and have Pellistri take his place in the squad moving forward.
He showed enough during the WC to show that he can be an asset for us in my opinion.
We've got loads of matches coming up to spread the minutes around between him and Garnacho.
Did very well with the limited time he had. Always liked his style and the way he carries the ball, reminds me a bit of Messi. Hopefully he will get some more chances soon.
Same. His control is excellent, the ball seems glued to his foot at times. Hopefully he’s earned himself some more game time after that lovely little cameo.
Send him out on loan, he needs to be playing, warning the Utd bench won't do him any good, come back next season,
Great little showing, really positive. Elanga needs a loan
Where's he been?!
Think far too much gets put on Elanga's 'physicality' - that has to be the only reason he's seemingly ahead.

Him and Garnacho as super subs/rotational starters…
