Pellistri loves training alongside Rashy, Pogba and, of course, Cavani.
The teenager reveals that Edinson is always available to help him out.
Facundo also hails the 33-year-old as one of the best players from Uruguay.
Facundo Pellistri told the official Manchester United website: “It’s been amazing to train with guys like [Marcus] Rashford, [Paul] Pogba, [Juan] Mata and Edi [Cavani], who is very close friends with me.
“It’s amazing for me because I watched them on TV and now I am practising with them. The intensity, the high quality they have, it’s great for me to play with them and I improve a lot.
“All the time, I speak with Edi and he is a very nice person. He is always trying to be around me, giving me advice and everything that I need. He is there to help me and that is very important for me. I am very happy with that.”
The 19-year-old added: “I know he is one of the best players in the world, and one of the all-time best players from Uruguay, but he is also a very nice person.”
Pellistri has settled in well so far, having joined in the summer window like his compatriot Cavani. Interestingly, the duo goes way back and you can find out more about their connection here.
