Granada boss Alexander Medina has lavished praise on Manchester United star Facundo Pellistri.

The Uruguayan winger is on loan at the Spanish club for the rest of the season.

Pellistri put in a great display over the weekend as Grenada managed a 3-3 draw against Barcelona.

Post-game, his manager told Sport890: "Facu Pellistri surprised me in the first talk we had, in these two weeks of work he has given us a lot at stake and in defensive solidarity.

I looked for Pellistri because he knew what he could give us. He meets all the conditions on the wing, he had his personal ambition for growth and that leaves me happy."

He added: "Pellistri's contribution was a lot, I told him what I wanted from him and in his second game he is showing the hierarchy and quality he has. I am very satisfied and happy with his signing.

It will help him to have minutes and show his football because at United he was relegated [not a starter]."
