Man Utd star reveals bizarre text he sends girlfriend before every match to which ‘she can’t respond’
FACUNDO PELLISTRI has revealed he sends his girlfriend the same bizarre text before every match.
The Manchester United winger explained that “she can’t respond” to the message or he will send it again.
Pellistri and his girlfriend Cami Garcia have a private relationship but have been known to share loved up snaps on social media.
The couple documented their travels this summer as they jetted off on holiday before the Uruguayan returned for pre-season.
Speaking this week, Pellistri has now revealed he sends her a text as part of his pre-match routine.
The 21-year-old has a number of matchday rituals, which includes sending Cami three heart emojis.
Pellistri added that she cannot reply and if she does he will send the same message again.
Asked about his pre-match rituals, he explained: “I have a lot of them, I think all footballers have them.
“I put my two socks next to each other to see which one is longer, and I put the longer one on my right foot.
“I also send messages to my family and my girlfriend makes fun of me because I always send her the same messages: three heart emojis, then another.

“And she can’t respond, if she does , I send the message back to her. That’s how I prepare for a match.”
Pellistri has made three substitute appearances for United so far this season.
The youngster also started their Champions League opener against Bayern Munich and the Carabao Cup win over Crystal Palace.
He will also be hoping to be involved against Palace at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
