Fred and Facundo Pellistri send messages to Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag
03.06.2022 - 14:11 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United duo Facundo Pellistri and Fred each claimed assists as the June internationals exploded into life on Thursday evening.
Five United five players were in action on Thursday night, as nations continue to put preparations in place ahead of the World Cup in Qatar later this year. And Pellistri — who has struggled to earn opportunities on loan at Alaves in La Liga this term — continued his impressive form for Uruguay, claiming an assist to help them beat Mexico 3-0 in a friendly.
The United youngster, 20, provided an assist within less than a minute of the second-half to tee up outgoing Reds' striker Edinson Cavani for his first goal of the contest. Pellistri burst down the right-wing, left Jesus Angulo staring at the turf and picked out Cavani to stroke home with ease.

He was substituted on 73 minutes and replaced by Uruguay veteran Diego Godin, with the South American outfit 3-0 up at the time. It was Pellistri's third assist in four appearances for his country since making his senior debut in January.
Continuing with a focus on United's South American contingent, Fred also claimed an assist as Brazil made light work of South Korea, registering a 5-1 win at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. Facing Paulo Bento's side in a friendly, the five-time World Cup winners secured the win courtesy of goals from Neymar (2), Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus, Philippe Coutinho and Richarlison.
Fred, who was taken off after 81 minutes and replaced by Matheus Cunha, provided the assist for Richarlison's seventh minute opener. City star Jesus did not start, stepping off the bench just three minutes before Fred was withdrawn.
