EDINSON CAVANI has dropped a major hint that he will make his debut against Chelsea.
The Uruguayan has yet to feature for Manchester United since his deadline day move having been forced to undergo a two-week quarantine period.

Cavani, 33, has been working on his fitness and is looking to seize his opportunity in the absence of Anthony Martial who is suspended.
Question marks also remain over Mason Greenwood who has missed the last two matches with a mystery ‘niggle.’
If he does get the nod, the former Paris Saint-Germain man is likely to go up against old team-mate Thiago Silva.
And Cavani admitted he is relishing the chance to face the Brazilian at Old Trafford.
He told EN24 news: “It will be great to be able to find him on the pitch.
“Thiago is very professional, because he works so hard in training and in the pre-match warm-ups. Well, it won’t be easy!
“It will be complicated because he is a very good central defender and an excellent footballer. But it will still be a great experience.”
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer dropped no clues as to whether Cavani will start but admitted he will be part of the squad.

The Norwegian said: “Edinson wants to tick all the boxes that he’s gone through in his programme to be ready and make an impact.
“His last preparation is going to be today and then I will have a discussion.
“He might be ready for the squad as well for this weekend.
“He’s been training hard and been training well. I think he’ll be available for the weekend.”
Cavani will hope to add to his remarkable scoring tally having bagged 341 goals in 556 club appearances.
