Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has praised Uruguayan hot shot Facundo Pellistri for his brilliant cameo performance in the Europa League.

The 21-year-old impressed against Real Betis on Thursday and was the star behind the fourth goal.

Ten Hag told club media: "He is the example by deserving his position by performance on the training [ground].

"And I said the other day, I did not select him for Liverpool and it was not even totally justified because he was training that well. Now this was his moment to come on because of a longer period he performed in training.

"What impressed me was he came on and, straight [away], showed himself. When they came on, Scott [McTominay] and Pelli, it was 3-1 but 4-1 is huge, to make the extra goal. In the first moment, they did, which was brilliant."
