Marcus Rashford will be hoping to build on his goal against Arsenal when Brighton & Hove Albion visit Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
The last time Brighton & Hove Albion visited Old Trafford, there was a sense of excitement and expectancy flowing through the Manchester United fan base.
The club, despite all of the off-field turmoil that has dominated the international break, is continuing to move in the right direction. But a sticky start to this season, which has seen United take just six points from the first 12 on offer, means they are under a sense of pressure to scoop all three points against the Seagulls this afternoon.
They faced the Seagulls three times last season, losing both league fixtures and scraping past them on penalties after a goalless draw at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final in April. Furthermore, no United player has actually scored against the Seagulls in the last three meetings, with Alexis Mac Allister netting an own-goal in last August's 2-1 reverse.
Bringing different qualities to the table in comparison to United's other wide options, Pellistri is a throwback to a winger of yesteryear, who likes to beat his man on the outside and then attempt to dig out a cross. Previously, such has been United's lack of a natural No.9 in the middle, you could have argued that his talents would have been wasted.
Rashford is at the peak of his powers when stationed on the left, meaning the prospect of being accompanied in attack by a natural No.9 should bring the best out of his personal game, allowing him to do what he does best. With that, however, comes responsibility.
