Ex-Manchester United forward, Facundo Pellistri has come out to explain the reason for his departure. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he knew that the ideal thing for his future was for him to start more games at his age, and he simply wasn’t going to have enough minutes at MUFC.
Pellistri added that he never ruled out the option of returning to South American football, but he got no proposal from there.
His words, “I had made the decision a little before I returned to training. I knew that the ideal thing for my future and at my age was to play, and that I could play in Manchester, but it would be more complicated.
So, I wasn’t going to have the amount of minutes that I want in a year, so we went out to look for different alternatives.
All the options I considered were from Europe. I didn’t receive any proposal from South America, it wasn’t that I ruled out that option of returning to South American football.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
