Manchester United defeats Lens 3-1 in friendly match

Manchester United defeated Lens 3-1 on Saturday in a friendly match played at Old Trafford. The goals were scored by Rashford, Antony, and Casemiro for United; Sotoca opened the scoring for the French.

The Uruguayan Facundo Pellistri was on the bench and did not enter the game, which rekindles the possibility that he will go out on loan again.

One of the most likely destinations for Pellistri is Twente in the Netherlands. That's what United's coach, Erik Ten Hag, thinks, who played for that team in three stages.

Another possibility that was mentioned in the press and by the player's representative (Edgardo Lasalvi) is Boca Juniors.

In the previous friendly match of United, against Dortmund in the United States, the Uruguayan winger was tested on the left side and had a good performance.

At the start of the preseason, Pellistri said: "I have spoken with him (Ten Hag) and we are working together to find the best club, the best way, the best option. I am happy with that way because we are all in the same position," Pellistri told Manchester Evening News.

He added that his desire is to play more consistently than last year: "In my position and at my age, what I want is to play. We hope to find the best solution to do it."

The start of the Premier League is scheduled for August 11; United makes its debut on the 14th against Wolverhampton.
