The Manchester United player set a record with Uruguay after scoring against Bolivia.

Pellistri became the youngest player to score for Uruguay in the Copa since Jose Maria Gimenez.

As for Pellistri, he was just 22 years and 190 days old when he celebrated his goal against Bolivia, according to statistics from Opta Javier . Although he was a regular starter for the Uruguayan national team, things were quite difficult for Pellistri when he returned to Man United.

Specifically, he has to rank behind Antony and Amad Diallo in the priority order on the right wing of the attack and is at risk of leaving Old Trafford in the summer transfer window.
