Edinson Cavani Suffers Serious Injury on Uruguay International Duty
Man Utd Star Edinson Cavani Suffers Serious Injury on Uruguay International Duty.
Veteran Manchester United forward Edinson Cavani looks to have picked up a fresh injury during Uruguay’s 2-0 win over Chile.
El Matador who has recently returned from a thigh issue, unfortunately had to leave the pitch early during his nation’s victory in their final World Cup qualifying game due a calf problem, according to reports.
He was replaced shortly before the half-hour mark by Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez, who went on to open the scoring late on before Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde sealed the win in the 90th minute for Uruguay, who had already booked their place at this winter’s tournament.
Fellow Red Facundo Pellistri, currently on loan at Alaves, was unavailable for La Celeste because of suspension.

World Cup Qualifiers: Cavani Scores a Fine Goal for Uruguary, Pellistri Assists
Cavani was replaced shortly before the half-hour mark by Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez, who went on to open the scoring late on before Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde sealed the win in the 90th minute for Uruguay, who had already booked their place at this winter’s tournament.
Fellow Red Facundo Pellistri, currently on loan at Alaves, was unavailable for La Celeste because of suspension.
Edinson was making his first start for club and country since early February, off the back of his recent return to action, in which he has since made substitute appearances for United against Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, prior to most recently coming off the bench in his country’s first game of the recent international break at home to Peru.
Cavani’s availability for United home game against Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday must now, naturally, in doubt.
It is likely that Ralf Rangnick will provide an update on the Uruguayan during his pre-match press conference on Friday, which we will have coverage for you across MUTV, the United App and on ManUtd.com.
Despite his setback, Cavani remained in good spirits as his nation secured a third-place finish in the South American qualifying pool, as they get set for what could be the 35-year-old’s fourth World Cup finals for Uruguay.
“Happy for the great work of all [of us],” he wrote in a caption accompanying a picture of the team on the plane home, posted on his social media accounts.
“A group that deserves all this that is happening. Keep going, guys.”
Man Utd may decide to talk with the likes of coach Pochettino, Lopetegui and Enrique or even speak further with Ten Hag, especially as he was recently approached by two more clubs.
Having a new manager in place ahead of the summer would be extremely handy, as it would give him the time to analyse the squad and talk with Rangnick over possible targets. Hopefully, the club can get a deal in place before the end of May, and avoid the chaos of entering the transfer market without a proper structure in place beforehand.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
