Diego Alonso explains Pellistri’s selection | Manchester United

“I believe a lot in certain characteristics in football players. And I believe a lot in my players. I trust the typical Uruguayan player and everything he can do,” Alonso said.

“I found that the individual characteristics of Pellistri might bring a lot to the game that we are trying to put in place. From there, I told him what I expected from him, what I valued in him. He did the rest following that.”
