Facundo Pellistri sends message after quickfire goal set-up in Manchester United win vs Real Betis

Facundo Pellistri has reacted on social media following his electrifying cameo against Real Betis.

Manchester United had a pivotal positive reaction to the 7-0 shellacking they suffered in Liverpool on Sunday by defeating the Spanish side 4-1 in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16.

Erik ten Hag introduced the winger in the 82nd minute and mere seconds later he was picked out by Fernandes at a corner and put on the afterburners to race past three defenders before pulling the ball back into a dangerous area.

"I don’t know," Owen Hargreaves replied on BT Sport when asked why he hasn’t had more minutes. "I was amazed at how quick he was!
