£200'000K a week allegedly.

Not back for sitting on the bench.

Apparently, anyone arriving from France has to quarantine for 2 weeks - which takes him up to ONE day AFTER the Newcastle game. 

I believe there's an exception for footballers... or does he not qualify because he was a FA and therefore not in the bubble. 

Surely if he gets 3 negative tests in the 3 days before he should be allowed... christ, Ighalo or bust ? or would it be Rash up top, James left, Greenwood right? or Greenwood up top, Mata right maybe? 

Not good anyway... 

Will be really interested to see how he gets on tbh

Apparently he doesn't qualify because he's not been part of a professional sports bubble since he left PSG. Woops.

So when exactly will he be able to play? United couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery. Joke of a club.

Some of this please.

Very underrated finisher. Can score every type of goal.

Whatever game comes after the Newcastle game?

I thought sports stars were exempt?

They're not. Teams travelling for competitions are, but that's because they're adhering to strict protocols that are enforced.

I think if you've been part of a professional set up then you are exempt. Cavani hasn't been since June though. 

[Ace-7 207]

hopefully his work rate, movement and will to win will rub off on the lazy twats like Pogba and Martial....

Ha! Nobody can rub off on Pogba. Hopefully a few weeks in he realises there's competition for his position and that's a European Championship next summer so he will start to turn it on. Then next summer sell him.

Weird feeling we’ll actually get away with this... We really shouldn’t, though. 

[robbo777 548]

Hopefully he can turn the tide on making average premier league keepers have the game of their life.

[TheManc 4,063]

Looked sharp. 

I do worry about how few chances we'll create for him though.

Between Telles, Pogba, Bruno, vdB and Martial, a well coached side could create chances for him.

[CB78 395]

I think Telles will create plenty chances - potentially Telles/Cavani very exciting combo

+ a decent right winger would make a difference;  but we didn’t get that

We could play Cafu and Roberto Carlos at the back and I'm still not sure Ole knows how to implement an attacking system tbf.

Yeah I'm still not convinced he's the right man for the job. I think he's done some good things and he's certainly helped move United forward but I don't think he can take them back to the top. 

[TheManc 4,063]

Should start against Istanbul IMO.

He and VDB should get some more minutes in the group stages as United should have things nicely positioned if they win their next game. 

[TheManc 4,063]

I'm assuming he's been called up for Uruguay? 

[Ace-7 207]

good to see he has gotten off the mark

[CB78 395]

Good to see he was played in sensible / best position when he came on the park;   If he can get any form of service in his best position seen enough to believe Cavani will have an impact

 

[PVAD 4,635]

Textbook finish from El Matador.

[Jay007 3,457]

Great that he's got off the mark quickly.  No matter his experience and quality he's shown in the past, going for a while without getting a goal may have ended up hanging over him.
