Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed the impact of Edinson Cavani – the number 7 who won them the match last night.
United were chasing a 2-0 deficit at half-time.
“I was quite calm [at half time],” he told Match of the Day. “It’s about not conceding another goal and getting the next one. There was always going to be another one in that game. We must have had five or six clear-cut chances in the game today so it was about taking them when we got the chance. It worked.”
And then Ole threw Cavani on.
“Great impact of course,” he said. “He is a number nine who wants to be in between the posts, he is always on the move, he wants to get in front of you and I am very pleased with him.
“On the training pitch, in the dressing room and during meal times, how meticulous he is… He knows what he wants to eat, how much he wants to recover – everything!
“It was top movement and his timing is fantastic. His hunger to get on the end of things is the key for a centre-forward. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it doesn’t but to score you have to be in there.”
