We were desperate for him to not go for international break but the moment we signed Ronaldo he is being called all sort of names here as they think he isn't required. And they wonder why would a player think for themselves first.

Having him who can be incredible for 25 games a season and Ronaldo who can be incredible for even more than that but maybe not a whole season in England is basically like having a world class striker the entire year. Love that for us.
If Ronaldo is the extroverted consummate professional, then Cavani is the introverted version of that.
We need both in this young dressing room.

Hope he stays and we win something this season but if things don't go well for him, I could see him moving on in January. Just a gut feeling, nothing more.
It'd be a shame if Cavani leaves not winning a trophy with the club. The guy is unbelievable. All players from South America want to play for their countries, you can't blame them.

As opposed to Europeans who don’t?
What?
I said players from South America b/c only they have these covid regulations.
Europeans don't have this problem.
Lenny, you’ve put my mind at rest. You’re a good egg.
Cheers
Surely the international games are going to be a problem for all the South American players in the PL? I believe Brazil is on the red list as well, so that means Fred, Jesus, Richarlison, Fernandinho, Alisson, Ederson, Firmino, Silva etc would all have issues. Then there is the AFCON in January as well, if I'm not mistaken.
He has things to his game that Ronaldo no longer does. Work rate and mobility, as well as a goalscorer as well. I'm not sure how this Ronaldo move will work out, he may just end up a frustrated figure at times. Or he'll score loads. Which version we get will dictate how important cavani is or could be to us I think. The games where he's on the periphery, cavani would probably add more.

I actually think we should let him go. With Ronaldo starting majority of our games, I just don’t see where will he fit in at all, unless he doesn’t mind playing bit part role for us. But we also have Greenwood who we will need to give him some game time too.
FW: Ronaldo, Greenwood, Cavani, Martial
LWF: Rashford, Pogba, Sancho, Ronaldo, Martial
RWF: Sancho, Greenwood, Diallo, James, Mata
AM: Bruno, VDB, Lingard, Pogba
CM/DM: Fred, Mctominay, Pogba, Matic
Well covered in all position, but it’s a bit too much…. 10 players for front 3 position…. We only need 6 or 7
I think we should sell at least 2 or 3 of the followings: James, Cavani, Lingard, Martial, VDB
And then we should add at least 1 more DM

I think Cavani showed last year that he's still top class, and works as hard as anyomne.
I think people are dreaming if they think we will push him out or something, all over a stupid squad number, while we have people like Martial stinking up the place.
Cavani will play in 30 games this season, no doubt.

some doubt, but only because of covid restrictions and international breaks.
Otherwise he'd be a key part of the match day squad in most games.
Easy to say when Ole played in an era when Norway had very low chance of qualifying for anything. Uruguay have a very good chance of being at the World Cup but South American qualifying is very competitive.
Also he is a club coach. I am sure he would say the opposite if he were Norway manager
Wolves 0:1 Man Utd
This would only be reasonable once qualification is in the bag. Will ho to the wire though, so no chance.
Why do we have so many fans who hate our players on the back of imaginary shite reasons why other fans would hate other players?
Ole was never even that important for them either and the way Norwegian fans would take it is different.
I think it's very likely we won't make it at all and, as it stands, Cavani is faced with two options: fight to get into the World Cup (his natural choice) or skip it, Uruguay doesn't make it and he will be have to spend the resto of his life putting up with people blaming him for it.
There's not really a choice, is there?
I agree with Ole. Nt is honour but club pays your wages.
Regarding game; he changed game. Always on the ball, attacking space. Joy to watch
We looked much better up top with him leading the line and running into the channels.
Not sure if he got a kick but his movement was good as always and he was first in when the Wolves players were around Pogba.

He's an absolute man.
Good sub cameo. We looked much better with Cavani up top and Martial and Mason on the side as Mason and Martial ran with purpose.

Uruguay call up withdrawn
Tbh I genuinely don't remember him touching the ball
Edit: 9 touches in 40 minutes... sounds about right
Good centre forwards can make an impact without really touching the ball much. Just his presence and movement alone makes other teams think twice and opens up space.
Good thing, I hope he won't be too disappointed
Cavani is
His running off the ball is the key.
We looked more balance and more a threat. Seemed like everybody was in a natural position and Cavani movement and runs are great to watch especially the way he can create space for himself and others
Unfortunately, you already have half the country having a go.
The other half is unhappy about the official announcement as his doppelganger has been called up and could have confused rivals. Others suggest he should be sent on a secret swap mission to Manchester instead.
Needs to lose weight and grow a bit of facial hair, mind.

He is only ten years younger so doubt it. But he is also from Salto in Uruguay so maybe Cavani Sr. was playing away there.
Ronaldo will look to play every game so not sure how many games Cavani will play this season. Competition for places upfront is insane this season. Last year we had to play Rashford through injury because we had no other option
Man Utd, England and Cavani are not exactly popular around here right now
It's a pitty if Cavani legacy in the national team is tarnished for the general public for something like this... I still blame fifa for this silly international breaks and not the other involved parts.
Very much so.
The man knows how to move.
He also knows how to finish, of course - but he can be extremely influential even when he doesn't score.
I won't get into the Uruguay discussion - I just want to see him for United as much as possible.
Beautiful.
Having them two with Pogba and Bruno creating should be a sight for sore eyes.
International breaks are always annoying but this time its definitely the shittiest of them all.
