Did more than than that useless turd Antony has done all season. Just start him, he literally can't be any worse.

Offers more than Antony. Amad will still be my first choice on the right when he’s back though.

He assisted a goal, technically, although those kind of assists really don't count in my head :lol:

Antony should not be starting right now. He's either shite or something isn't right in his head.

Pellestri has shown he can at least offer the press and work rate which Antony was clinging onto as his last offering.

He had good pre-season, he's almost 22, he definitely got things in place to play some games, more than 30 minutes.

Play him & Hannibal.

Said it before and will keep saying it...he wont make it at manutd as a winger. He cant pass, cant shoot, cant dribble one v one and is one footed. If sancho and Anthony have struggled to find love among fans, he wont. There is very little doubt that he needs to be sold...even a loan wont change much. His skillset would be awesome for the right team but not manutd

Good performance from him but don't think he's ready to start over Antony yet.

Pellistri had a massive role in the match winner. I understand the “he’s shit” argument and yes of course he’ll never be a Ronaldo or Beckham, but my god he’s vastly more effective than Antony.

Desperately needs to hit the gym - so slight and is unable to impose himself due to that

His fighting spirit and persistence brought us the winning goal. Good effort.

Not good enough but kept plugging away for the goal. Not sure why he wasn’t sold whilst his stock was higher.

The thing is, he wasn't anything special, but I guess it shows how poor Antony has been.

That being said, he came on and at least tried to force the issue - tried to make things happen, and got his rewards.

For that reason, he should be starting against Copenhagen.

He did well. Feel athletically his balance is better, deals with physical impact better.

He is direct and does what wingers are supposed to do, until we find someone better he will have to do. I was a huge fan of the Antony signing though it seems he just isn't the player I thought he was, just as ineffective as Sancho (at the moment especially). We need effective and quick players.

Disagree. I think he is a clever player and never gives up. I will take him over Antony any day just for the effort and teamwork. ETH needs to have more confidence in Pellestri than Antony. It will be great if Amad comes back so Antony can sulk on the bench.

Another one who must wonder what he'll have to do to regularly displace one of ten Hag's underperforming golden boys.

Pellistri is not a great player. Frankly, there are wide players up and down the Premier League that I'd take over him tomorrow. However, he showed more than Antony did today. If its the choice between the two of them I'm taking Pellistri right now.

Am all in for Amad asap. Funnily enough Anthony's best attributes are effort and teamwork...but he cant beat a fullback or do anything with the ball besides recycling posession. Anthony pains more because we paid 80m for that nonsense vs 10m for pellistri.

He's able to do the absolute basics of being a football player, which immediately puts him above Antony. He's also got a bit of drive to him, which makes him considerably better than Antony.

Yes, I thought that too. The defenders tried shouldering him a couple of times and bounced off him. He is getting closer all the time.

Did more than Antony did. The goal comes from his initial persistence for the ball, deserves a prolonged run in the team.

Should immediately replace Antony in the starting line up. Having a player who can actually go in or out on the RW immediately caused Fulham problems and he was able to utilize that to get a shot away minutes after coming on.

We need to trust him and give him minutes. He can rotate with Amad. Antony should be done as a starter after today's game.

He and Garnacho will start the next game. And will have a stinker. That’s the modern day United.

My only problem with him and the coaching staff is that there seems to be zero work done on improving his upper body strength. He is hardworking, actually tougher than he looks and always seem to make good decisions when he has the chance but his only weakness is how physically imposing he is NOT. I'm sure there are training regimens that could be implemented to help him develop core strength

He's a better option than Antony.

Think he spent more time in and around Fulhams box in a third of the time Antony had.
He does look like he gets knocked off the ball very easily but I still think he offers more than Antony. Hope he gets more minutes.

I don't think he's good enough long term but I think he's the option on the wing most compatible with Hoijlund. He is capable of getting to the byline and providing crosses and cutbacks. Our other wingers all want to cut in and shoot. I hope he and Hannibal start in Denmark.

Not strong enough to deliver consistently in the PL, and not sure he's good enough to make the leap even if he was given the rest of this season to prove himself.

Can't see ETH starting him much though TBH. I think he's too stubborn to discard Antony and believes he's a better player than Pellistri.
