Man Utd gives new impetus to Cavani, injured before Tuesday's shock

United will really win, is not it?

When Manchester United were eliminated against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League knockout round, United's fans were panicked, while rival clubs played a little shahdenfreude. At the time, José Mourinho was still in control and no one could see the first leg otherwise than United getting an absolute bad from the champions of France.

And yet, United will be considered as favorite by many of them at the meeting on Tuesday. Neymar is excluded with a broken metatarsal and it seems that PSG will also be deprived of his first-choice striker Edinson Cavani, after being replaced at half-time in Saturday's match against Bordeaux.

The Uruguayan "changed something" and Thomas Tuchel took no chances, deciding to replace Cavani by Kylian Mbappé.

The news comes as a great boost for Manchester United, who played 11 games without defeat under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, including 10 with a slight setback against Burnley, when Victor Lindelof saved a point.

Manager of the month ?
10 wins
11 unbeaten games

PSG may now have to face Julian Draxler, Angel Di Maria and Kylian Mbappé, which is … not bad. But they will always feel the absence of Neymar and Cavani – if he can not play.
