Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has insisted Reds youngster Facundo Pellistri deserves his first-team opportunities because of his application and performances in training.
Pellistri came off the bench in United's 4-1 win over Real Betis on Thursday night, with the Uruguay international playing an important role in the fourth and final goal of the Europa League clash. The 21-year-old raced past several defenders before delivering a smart cut-back to Scott McTominay.

The Scotsman's initial effort was pushed out by Claudio Bravo, but Wout Weghorst was on hand to steer the ball into the unguarded net to grab his first goal at Old Trafford.

Four Manchester United youngsters trained with the first team on Friday as Erik ten Hag's side prepared for their Premier League clash against Southampton on Sunday.
The Reds host the Saints at Old Trafford, hoping to get back to winning ways in the Premier League after being thrashed 7-0 by Liverpool last weekend. Ten Hag's men responded to the defeat with a convincing 4-1 win over Real Betis in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday night.
United are still without several first-team players through injury, with Marcel Sabitzer, Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek still sidelined. Therefore, Ten Hag has had more opportunities to invite some of the club's promising youngsters to train with the senior side at Carrington in recent weeks.
