The Uruguayan star did not play with impressive performance in the recent international series.
Currently, despite having a direct conversation, the cоnflict between Jadon Sancho and coach Erik Ten Hag has not been resolved.
Therefore, the possibility of the English striker returning to Man Utd’s squad in the near future is very low, and he will almost certainly be absent in the match against Brighton.
Currently, Man Utd fans are expecting that Ten Hag will give a chance to Facundo Pellistri, who has more or less impressed in his appearances from the bench.
But in fact, Pellistri is in poor form in the recent international series, with relatively lackluster performances.
& In Uruguay’s loss to Ecuador, Pellistri was brought on from the bench in the 70th minute.
Having about 20 minutes to express himself, Pellistri failed to make any impact. He lost the ball 4 times in 11 contact situations and only won 1/4 duels.
Perhaps, Pellistri’s benching was a consequence of his previous performance, when he was assigned to start the match against Chile and had a disappointing performance.
In more than 70 minutes on the field, data from Sofascore shows that the only impression Pellistri left was a pass that created a scoring opportunity. But in return, he missed a really good opportunity.
In addition, Pellistri did not have any shots on target, lost in 4/8 duels and was dribbled past by the opponent once.
It is important to know that the Man Utd star is one of three players on the Uruguay side who received the lowest score from Sofascore in this match (6.7).
