Facundo Pellistri came off the bench for his debut against Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup and made an instant impression.

Ten Hag commended Pellistri not just on his performances in Qatar last month but also on his display in a behind-closed-doors friendly against [Everton](https://theathletic.com/football/team/everton/) on his return.

But, in hindsight, that was always expecting too much of an 18-year-old plucked out of the Uruguayan top flight. Instead, despite earning a reputation among team-mates and United’s staff as a dedicated and diligent young player, to say his opportunities have been limited is an understatement. It was the type they should expect to enjoy. Upon the Uruguayan’s entrance, Charlton had to push their tired bodies in search of the equaliser to force extra time.

“I see a future in him and he is doing really well and we have to see what is the best,” Ten Hag said. While Pellistri impressed on loan at Alaves, United reportedly want to see Pellistri playing regular minutes in the second tier of English football. It's claimed that Watford are leading the race to sign Pellistri should United indicate that they're willing to let him leave on loan. "All players want to play and of course I want more. Speaking after the match, Pellistri set his own targets to be involved more with United in the near future. "Yes of course [I was eager to get his debut vs Charlton]," he said.
