Facundo Pellistri sent a reminder to Manchester United with an impressive display against Barcelona. The winger joined Spanish side Granada on loan for the remainder of the season near the end of the January transfer window.

After making his debut in a draw with Las Palmas last weekend, Pellistri faced the more daunting task of lining up against Barcelona at Camp Nou.

Pellistri, 22, was allowed to leave United on loan after making just three starts in 14 appearances for Erik ten Hag’s side in the first half of the season.

However, the forward showcased his quality against the Catalan giants on Sunday in Granada’s fight against relegation.
