Man Utd news LIVE: Pellistri targets impressive World Cup to aid United EXIT, Real Sociedad build up – latest

MANCHESTER UNITED youngster Facundo Pellistri is targeting an impressive World Cup campaign to speed up a transfer.

The Uruguayan has spent time on loan at Alaves during his career at Old Trafford but a lack of game time for the 20-year-old could see him push for an exit.

And the World Cup provides the perfect platform for him to impress ahead of the January transfer window.

Erik ten Hag‘s side face Real Sociedad in Europa League action on Thursday night and United have been handed a boost as Anthony Martial has returned to training.

The Frenchman was in good form before picking up an injury and will look to earn his place in the starting XI for Thursday’s clash.
