Edinson Cavani has expressed his excitement over his potential link up with his compatriot and 18-year-old Manchester United signing, Facundo Pellistri at Old Trafford.
Pellistri was on the radar of a few teams like Manchester City, Paris Saint Germain, Olympique Lyon and others but the Red Devils eventually won the race to sign the youngster for 10 million euros from his club, Penarol.
The player is now in Manchester preparing for the games after the international break and Cavani who is an older compatriot of the player is doing the same as well.
“Pellistri is a young lad and I really love the way he plays the game,” Cavani told United’s official website."
“He’s the typical South American footballer who has that mischievous nature to his game, and the way he lives his football is a bit like, as we say in Uruguay, being on ‘el campito’, as we call it, a makeshift pitch where you have a kickabout for fun with your mates or whoever."
“He’s a youngster who has a lot to learn but who has a lot to offer too. He’s already shown what he can do at Penarol in the games where he’s featured."
“Learning his trade here is also going to be a great experience for him. So, it’s going to be good meeting up with him and travelling together on this journey in this new chapter for us both.”

“I’ve liked him from the moment he made his first-team debut at Penarol, I liked him a lot. He’s coming here to the club, without a doubt determined to learn and mature as a player, but also to make a good contribution here himself.
