Celta Vigo sign Man United nemesis Pione Sisto from Midtjylland

Chris Smalling could only watch on helplessly as Pione Sisto levelled for Midtjylland right before half-time. — Pione Sisto stunned Manchester United with his fine play in the Europa League last season.

Celta Vigo completed the signing of young playmaker Pione Sisto from Midtjylland on Monday.

The 21-year-old made a name for himself in February when he scored against Manchester United in both legs of the Danish club's Europa League round-of-32 defeat.

He now moves to La Liga after signing a five-year deal with Celta on Monday.

The club said Sisto would be unveiled when the club return from their preseason tour in Italy.

Midtjylland, already three games into the Danish league season, have been linked to a move for former Real Madrid midfielder Rafael van der Vaart to replace Sisto.
