Man Utd stars arrive at The Hilton ahead of PSG clash as Edinson Cavani backed to get ‘revenge’ on old club


MANCHESTER UNITED players arrived at The Hilton hotel on Wednesday ahead of a massive showdown with Paris Saint-Germain.

A place for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side in the last-16 of the Champions League can be secured with a win or a draw at Old Trafford.

Ahead of the game, Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani were spotted entering The Hilton, situated just minutes away from the stadium.

And the Uruguayan has been backed by former France international Frank Leboeuf to show his old club what they are missing.

He told ESPN FC, via Express: “I always said it was a big mistake from Paris Saint-Germain to let Cavani go because I’m sure he would have been useful, and he showed it [against Southampton].

“It’s like it’s written and I’m looking forward to seeing the game on Wednesday to see if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will put Cavani on instead of [Anthony] Martial or if he will come on at half-time.

“It could be a big revenge for Cavani if he scores and puts Paris Saint-Germain out of the qualification group.

“That’s going to be something very bad for Paris Saint-Germain if something like that happens.

“But Cavani is a fantastic player, he’s always been, he always works hard, and we saw how he can be helpful.

“It’s a big, big problem that Paris Saint-Germain didn’t keep him.”

Cavani came off the bench at half-time against Southampton to score twice in the 3-2 comeback win.

Solskjaer has a selection decision to make with Martial, Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Daniel James all available.

Jesse Lingard was also pictured on Wednesday having overcome coronavirus.

An ankle injury may keep Paul Pogba out of the game against PSG, a situation that would not leave Marco Verratti too disappointed.

“Quite frankly I hope he is not playing, but we cannot just focus on one of them.”
