Definitely need to see more of him. Wished he played more.

If khedira sturaro and even marchisii move on...with pjanic matuidi can and bentancur we only need one more midfielder to be complete.

Nice assist. Didnt do much else to be honest. Often nowhere to be found on either side of the pitch.
He was playing a weird role. Like an attacking mid who was crucial going forward but also had to sprint back constantly to form the line of 4. Not a surprise he was subbed out, that Uruguay's coach would trust a 21 y/o with a role like that shows how highly he is rated in their camp.

And a cherry on top was that he started on a left side, not even middle

Half of that video is not even Bentancur, it's Vecino lol.

Bentancur barely touched the ball all match. He was just running around in that god awful position as 4-3-1-2 CAM.

But he touched the ball a couple times deep in opposition final 3rd and one time he skinned a defender and the other he made a great no-look pass to Cavani. And Bentancur is supposed to be a DM so his talent is basically surplus to the requirements of the position.
