Edinson Cavani

Tbh on current form he should start ahead of Martial. He's got to start at some point.

Should start the first game after the international break, completely agree

[TFIA 15,140]

He's looking threatening in every appearance. 

Martial needs to get the fuck out for a while. 

[TheManc 4,063]

Scored the opening goal against Colombia.

 

 

[TheManc 4,063]

Has to be first choice for now.

[rezzy 4,715]

Should be the only one starting at CF.

Martial cant handle it, and currently is quite poor. Rash has always been better off the wing.

He also works much harder than our other options and fucking attacks the ball in the box.

[Jay007 3,457]

We probably have to be careful with him considering his age and injury record, but he should be playing when he can at the moment - especially in the big games. 

Martial has been in really poor form this season and has played slightly better from the left so far this season, and Cavani has looked like a proper CF when he's played - albeit yet to fully hit his stride.

[hdcantona 9,140]

Absolute quality 

[TheManc 4,063]

Love him.

[PVAD 4,635]

Always on the move and makes those penetrating runs sometimes it's about making those chances for yourself something Rashford and Martial still need to do a lot more of.

Hopefully they'll learn from El Matador.

[TheManc 4,063]

Has to be first choice now tbh. Especially with Martial out of form.

[Jay007 3,457]

It's a pity he isn't a few years younger, but I'm certainly glad we've signed him.  Absolute class.

[Burns92 2,560]

My boy

[rezzy 4,715]

He's played a total of 126 minutes in the League for us.

He has 3 goals and an assist.

Goal involvement every 31 minute of play.

Goal scored every 42 minutes of play.

Its early days, but not bad for a player closing in on 34.

About to get banned for three games for using the term “negrito” on social media.

What a world we live in.

Considering Rat-features got 8 games for similar - pretty stupid of Cavani.

Suarez was abusing someone. Like he was actively using the term in the worst way.

Cavani is using what is a common and inoffensive term in his culture with no malice whatsoever. The context matter.

If he's charged he should accuse the FA of racism and discriminating against his culture.

Yeah, context is massively important - but sometimes it’s best not to leave yourself open to the shot. 

[TheManc 4,063]

Context is king though. Hopefully he'll only get 1 game.

Why can't I link things anymore? Can't even copy and paste a link! 

 

[TheManc 4,063]

The Guardian saying it's an automatic 3 match  ban if he's found guilty, which he obviously will be.

Best man tonight vs PSG, criminal taking him off when chasing the game after going behind for the second time. 

Was unlucky not to score when he hit the cross bar.

Get him tied down on longer term deal tonight- he’s plenty left in tank

best centre forward play I’ve seen at UTD since RVP / Ibra 

[Jay007 3,457]

Unlucky not to score with the great attempt. 

The only reasons I can think he was subbed were fitness and/or lack of pace when we were down to 10, because he'd have obviously been the most likely player to score.

It was utterly stupid by United by letting RVP and Ibra go when they did and keeping on more undeserved under performing players.. What both RVP and Zlatan needed was more proper training regime to suit them Moyes ran RVP to the ground with the wrong training methods and Van Gaal was more the same so RVP never regained the heights during is final 2 years at Arsenal and his first year at United with SAF in charge, and with Zlatan Mourinho didn't have much intrest in getting Zlatan back match fit after that minimal injury and Zlatan leave on free, which has on regular bases been proven to be a mistake look at Zlatan now. I wonder if Ole will actually do the same mistake with Cavani if he gets injured. (or whom ever is in charge if we sack Ole at some point) So yes United should tie Cavani to longer contract.

 

[TheManc 4,063]

Cavani has 18 months left so we shouldn't extend. He's basically first choice at the moment and won't get anywhere better than us tbf. He could dip badly and then we're stuck with him on big wages. A 1 + 1 deal was right. He'll be 35 at the end of our deal with him.

We'll need a new striker soon anyway and if in 2 years he wants to leave then good luck to him.
