The reported \u20ac11.5 million signing of Facundo Pellistri from Manchester United in the summer was a club-record deal, while Croatian defender Tin Jedvaj started on the bench in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Final.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TNS have lost three of their last five matches in all competitions, but their JD Cymru Premier game against Newtown last weekend was postponed due to Storm Darragh.
