Edinson Cavani

The signings of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo will no-doubt offer a boost to the worst Manchester United squad in Premier League history, but there remains one gaping hole in Ruben Amorim 's side.

Suarez is Uruguay's all-time record goalscorer, with his record of 69 in 143 appearances leaving him well-clear of former Man United forward Edinson Cavani in second place.

Cavani, a Uruguay mainstay for the past 16 years, had been selected by Marcelo Bielsa to play in the Copa America, which starts on June 20 in the United States.

Cavani, 37, who spent two years at Old Trafford between 2020 and 2022, joined Boca last summer and has enjoyed a positive first year in Argentina, but he missed a sitter in his latest outing for the club.

Without a goal or assist from 20 Premier League appearances this season - his only attacking returns came against Newport County in the FA Cup - Antony's stock has plummeted to new depths.

Harry Kane has built his ultimate striker out of eight different player's attributes and has some surprising inclusions on his list. Kane was benched by Gareth Southgate for England's game vs North Macedonia.

After Cavani opened the scoring for the visitors in the 23rd minute by prodding home a cross from Miguel Merentiel - on loan from Palmeiras - the Brazilians went in at the break a goal down.

Cavani enjoyed spells with the likes of PSG and Manchester United and was presented in front of vast numbers of fans who clamoured to welcome their new number 10.

United have been chasing the Atalanta striker for most of the summer and looked destined to sign him, only for PSG to throw a cat amongst the pigeons with a £43million bid.

The 24-year-old sat level with Edinson Cavani prior to kick-off but wasted no time in overtaking the Uruguayan striker as he scored his 201st goal for the Ligue 1 giants

PETE JENSON: 'Lim go home' is what it says on all the banners and placards held aloft at every Valencia home game. And he is - in Singapore, not in Valencia where the proud club he owns is in crisis.

It could easily have been enough to make Erik ten Hag pack his bags and take the first plane back to Amsterdam. Fortunately, he wasn't put off by a dreadful display at Selhurst Park in May.

Cavani came on for Luis Suarez - who was in tears at the end of the match - but was unable to steer his side to a third goal and was one of a number of players to surround the referee after the match.

There were mistakes, a missed penalty and VAR controversy, plus two fine goals from Giorgian De Arrascaeta and a brilliant attacking showing from Ghana's Mohammed Kudus.

Prefered to Edinson Cavani up front, Suarez struggled to get involved in the game failing to register a single shot on target before being replaced on 64 minutes.

When your three strikers are Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and a player described as a mixture of the two, goals should be a given.

Liverpool's record-signing Darwin Nunez is one of the star names included in a stacked attacking line-up selected by manager Oscar Tabarez. He is joined by Rodrigo Bentancur.

United have repeatedly been linked with two of the stars of Ten Hag's Eredivisie-winning teams of the last two seasons and face competition from Arsenal for their signatures.

Six have left but there is plenty more to do, with ten Hag looking to axe several 'dead wood' players on massive wages, as well as bringing in a number of replacements and adding quality to the squad.

As reported by Sportsmail on Saturday night, it is understood a group of fans travelled to the area in which Arnold lives, with various reports claiming they were set to hold a protest outside his house.

Getting rid of players was always going to be the easy bit for United . The hard part was going to be convincing their transfer targets to sign up for the Ten Hag project - and so it is proving.

Liverpool-bound Darwin Nunez is described as half Edinson Cavani and half Luis Suarez, but the stats suggest he is better than both at this stage of his career - he is already a stone-cold scorer.

The Uruguayan forward has endured a woeful season, making only 15 Premier League appearances - with just seven coming as starts -and only found the net twice in all competitions.

The poor end to the season could be down to the tensions among the squad that saw splits exacerbated by Rangnick's remarks about a variety of players.

With United having finished down in sixth place, Cavani was clearly unhappy as he walked towards the bus, and he reacted to some fans taunting him by sticking his middle finger up at them.

Edinson Cavani turned down a move to Boca Juniors last summer to spend a second season at Old Trafford, but was shocked to see United re-sign Ronaldo from Juventus on deadline day. 

Cavani has followed Ibrahimovic's path by moving from PSG to Man United - and there was little love between the pair during the time at Parc des Princes, according to Michael Ciani.

CHRIS WHEELER: After agreeing to be the new Man United boss, Erik ten Hag will need to oversee an overhaul of the squad when he eventually takes over.

The visitors lined up in a 4-2-2-2 formation, with two midfielders in the two forward positions and five central strikers all missing out for different reasons, with Neville unable to hide his concerns.
