The 2022 World Cup is about to start, and countries have recently announced the list of participants. Among them, in the list released by Uruguay, the 20-year-old young Peristeri was successfully selected. Although a potential player in the national team, the youngster has not had first-team experience in two years since joining Manchester United, but he still has the trust of manager Diego Alonso.
Fans familiar with Manchester United will know that their signings worked very badly in the summer of 2020. The slowness of the transfer market has left the club passive. Finally, on the deadline of the transfer period, Manchester United's top brass rushed to sign a number of players, including the then 18-year-old Peristeri.
As a teenager who has not yet played in a Europa league, Manchester United shelled out 850W for Peristri Peristeri. At the time, many fans believed that this could be a return investment for Manchester United. As a result, after two seasons, Pellistri has not played for Manchester United's first team and has become an outcast. In two years, he only played nine games for Manchester United's youth team, contributing three goals and one assist, which can be said to be a failing as a striker.
Although he could not get a chance at the club, Pellistri is the future star of the Uruguayan national team. Although only 20 years old, Pellistri has already made seven appearances for Uruguay, including previous World Cup qualifiers in South America. In the crucial group match against Peru, Pellistri played 84 minutes for Uruguay and contributed to the team's promotion, which shows that he has the trust of the national team manager.
Manchester United still qualified for the World Cup in 2 years and 0 appearances, but the rest of the squad of young players of the same age may not have such treatment. As a former hopeful star, Sancho, who transferred to Manchester United at 8500W, was not selected for the England squad this time. If he stays at Dort, Sancho can be said to win a World Cup spot. However, since joining Manchester United, Sancho's form has been weak. Although Sancho is a regular player this season, and his main position is pressing Priesti, the former has not been able to travel to Qatar.
Of course, Sancho's inability to make the England squad is also related to the fact that the Three Lions have too many players of the same type. Theoretically, England is stronger than Uruguay, but it is unknown who can go further in Qatar. In this group stage, England are in the same group as Iran, the United States and Wales, while Uruguay is against Portugal, Ghana and South Korea.
Who do fans think Uruguay or England can go further in the World Cup?
