Think this needs its own thread. In a year where I’ve got very little joy out of football, and a month which has dragged that further into the gutter, that really cheered me up. @GifLord if you would be so kind :)

Agree, love seeing that from teammates.

Wish he’d been there when Herrera got carried off the damned pitch.

If he stays imagine the reception he'll get next season from OT crowd?

Always great to see. Lingard used to do it a lot for Rashford and I remember Zlatan doing it as other recent examples.

Him explaining to the referee he was only separating them was hilarious :lol:

Think am in love with the guy.

Cavani is an absolute legend. My most favorite United player at the moment.

I'm glad Telles got in there when he did (we need Cavani for the final), but I love it. Seems like Cavani is loving football again, after that stretch there where it seemed like it was a chore for him

Great to see Edi sticking up for him, but where the hell does Mason go?! He’s no where to be seen when 2 Roma players turn on Edi!!

Yeah I really enjoyed that. Hope he stays for another year. They don’t make footballers like him anymore.

Almost as hilarious as him getting out of a blatant yellow card in the first half by telling the ref “Look! He’s cool. We’re cool. You can see there’s no hard feelings. So you obviously shouldn’t book me” With which the ref, amazingly, agreed.

He’s a total winner like Bruno. We still have too many highlights players for my liking. Gotta fight for everything and I don’t see the rest of our forwards busting a gut working for each other or even trying to find each other. We are 1 dimensional without him.

Glade to see that. We need players like that to step up when needed. McTominay is usually the one that jumps in but good to see Cavani with that fire. Ole needs to find a way to convince him to stay for at least another year. We'd take a big hit if he were to go.

Beautiful to see. I don't know whether it's conformation bias clouding my judgement but in our worst days post-Fergie I don't think this basic kind of team spirit stuff has been happening. Yes you could argue it's handbags that players don't need to involve themselves in but for me sticking up for your teammates on a basic level is part and parcel of every level of football. Well done Edi :devil:

Greenwood had probably enough of the game so walked away.
And great vision by Ole bringing on Telles, he knew he would be a defensive disaster but would save Cavani from getting a red.
Already love Cavani!
