Facundo Pellistri scores again for Man Utd

Manchester United winger Facundo Pellistri scored again last night in their 3-2 EFL Trophy defeat to Accrington Stanley.

Pellistri, signed on summer transfer deadline day from Uruguayan side Penarol for around £9million, scored for United's Under-21s in a battling 3-2 defeat to Accrington Stanley on Tuesday night.

Anthony Elanga was also on the scoresheet, while Teden Mengi, Hannibal Mejbri and Ethan Galbraith were also among those to start for Neil Wood's side.

Pellistri's goal represents his first against senior opposition and will no doubt have sent a message back to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Uruguayan also scored last week in the Prem 2 defeat of Southampton.
