Manchester United star Facundo Pellstri is delighted at being able to play in the Champions League.

The Uruguayan, who is often a bench option for manager Erik ten Hag, is pushing to get himself in the club's starting lineups.

As United prepare to take on Bayern Munich away in the first game of the Champions League group stages, Pellistri spoke about Europe's elite club competition.

He told MUTV: It's one of the best tournaments in the world. United deserves to be there and, as we are United, we have to give everything.

“The Barcelona games [in last season's Europa League play-off] were amazing and we are looking forward to those types of games in the Champions League.

“We are ready to play against everyone."
