Facundo Pellistri opens up on Alejandro Garnacho Manchester United friendship

Facundo Pellistri has spoken about the Spanish-speaking contingent at Manchester United and his friendship with Alejandro Garnacho.

Facundo Pellistri joined Manchester United in October 2020 and has had a turbulent time so far at the club.

Under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, he failed to make a single appearance, spending 18 months on loan at Celta Vigo, where he had a mixed experience.

He has, however, made big strides forward in the last 12 months, making his debut for the club under Erik ten Hag and appearing in the 2022 World Cup for his home country, Uruguay.

Speaking to club media, Pellistri explained who he spends his time with and gets his advice from within the dressing room.

“We have a very nice group,” he explained. “All of them help us in different ways. And, of course, I am more with the guys who speak Spanish because of the language. And yes, they help me a lot: Bruno (Fernandes), Casemiro, (David) De Gea and Licha (Lisandro Martinez) also.

“And, I am also with Garna (Alejandro Garnacho) and we learn together from all the experienced players. And as I told you, the group is a very good group. And I think that’s also a reason for all the things we achieve this season.”

Pellistri also was prompted further on his friend Garnacho and if they learn from each other both on and off the training field.

“Yes, exactly,” he said. “We are all the time together and we spend this season together. Of course, we learn from each other and we enjoy being together and being in this club.”
