Manchester City who has obligations ranging from the league to UEFA Champions League are second 7-2 on the season and bouncing back from two defeats in a row.

For one of the United players, Uruguayan winger Facundo Pellistri, he took a jab at the City fans by talking to journalist Martin Charquero and claiming he has a hard time seeing Manchester City flags and fans in Manchester.

Facundo Pellistri pours fuel on Manchester rivalry

On Carve Deportiva, the seldom used winger spoke about how difficult it is to see a City supporter, “Manchester is all United. You don’t see a kit or flag of City.”

“At times I go out with my girlfriend, and we tell ourselves, ‘Let’s see if we find (Manchester City flags) and it’s nowhere to be found.”

The talented winger has only played in 4 games this season but is limited to substitute appearances, despite having gone out on loan a few times, Pellistri has yet to truly break in with the Red Devils.

Pellistri has more international appearances, 16 with Uruguay, than Manchester United league appearances,8.

Another player that seems to have a future at Manchester United is Uruguayan winger Facundo Pellistri. The 21-year-old World Cup veteran has not played much at Manchester United, but the brass is intent on keeping him.

According to Fabrizio Romano the Red Devils have been very happy with his development, and that the Manchester United brass is ready to offer Pellistri a new contract.

Facundo Pellistri’s Manchester United numbers

The body of work for Facundo Pellistri at ManU has been minimal, with only three appearances in the Premier League and 8 games across all competitions.

The agile Uruguayan winger has played on loan to Alaves in LaLiga before returning to the Red Devils this season. The Manchester United brass are in discussions of an extension on his current deal which ends in 2025 with the player’s representation.
