Match discussion thread for discussing Facundo Pellistri’s performances.
He can start playing in the first team in January, correct?
Do you think Diallo will feature in the first team straight away? Or be similar to Pellistri and go straight into the U23's for a short time ?Nothing stopping him from playing now as far as I'm aware but the lad is a long way from being ready for the PL my guess is they'll keep him around the U23 setup this season then look for a good loan move for next season.

I reckon we see him in the Europa league games and FA/EFL cup games.
I remember the night at OT when Rashford played against Midtjylland, and the guy sat behind me obviously hadnt heard of him or seen him play and immediately decided he wouldent be that good. I turned round and told him, I said the lad has potential, he is lighting quick and can finish, he might surprise you.I think it'll be U23 games mostly this season for both.
Now that we're in Europa we might see Diallo and Pellistri involved after Xmas but unless they take to these games like a duck to water in the way Rashford did it's hard to see them going into the first team setup. Think you name 9 subs in European games only 7 in the prem so it will be tough for them to even get on the bench with the squad size that we have. I think Ole will be going strong in the league cup if we get past Everton it's semi finals/finals and he needs a trophy. FA Cup will likely depend on the draws we get a nice easy home game he might put them on the bench and try to get them on.
Diallo is probably more likely to be around the first team squad more I think he's played in Serie A so my guess is he'll train with the first team and if he looks ready then he'll be given chances.
I reckon Lingard will leave in January and I do think Ole has lost faith in James so there's a big chance for both of them to grasp an opportunity but Ole knows the deal with the youngsters you can't just chuck them in they need to earn that right and take the chance.
Chances can come at you quickly Rashford only got his shot because Will Keane got injured injured in a cup match and then Martial went down in the warm up before we played that Midget-Land team. He took his chance and never looked back.

I saw him again but months down the line when he must of used his mates season ticket again and only then he agreed and said, "not bad is he, Rashford" ! haha
