      Edinson Cavani set for emotional Man Utd debut against old club PSG as he will miss Newcastle clash while in quarantine

      by

      EDINSON CAVANI could make his Manchester United debut in an emotional clash with old side Paris Saint-Germain.
      Uruguayan striker Cavani, 33, joined United in a free transfer worth £200,000 a week on deadline day after leaving PSG when his contract expired at the end of June.

      And The Times reports that because he has continued to live in Paris, he will have to quarantine for 14 days in line with government regulations for anyone arriving into the UK from France.
      The exemption for elite athletes only applies if players are coming from a secure bubble environment where they are tested regularly.
      New left-back Alex Telles has been in a bubble with Porto and therefore is available to link-up immediately with his new team-mates.

      Cavani has been living among the public and United are said to be seeking further clarification on the matter.

      If he is house-bound for a fortnight Cavani would not be allowed out before the Red Devils’ Premier League trip to Newcastle on October 17.
      United’s options up front will already be limited with Anthony Martial serving a three-match ban after being sent-off for slapping Erik Lamela in the 6-1 drubbing by Spurs.
      But Cavani would be available for PSG away in the Champions League group stage on October 20.
      He could be used from the bench by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer having not played since March.

      United’s new striker has decided to take on the curse of the No7 shirt donned by flops Memphis Depay and Alexis Sanchez.
      Despite the Red Devils’ failure to land Jadon Sancho, Cavani arrives with an incredible goalscoring record – only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have netted more since March 2007.

      Watch David De Gea rip into Man Utd star Luke Shaw and rage ‘what’s your problem?’ after ignoring him during Spurs match

      by

      DAVID DE GEA ripped into Manchester United team-mate Luke Shaw and raged ‘what’s your problem?’ against Spurs.
      The Spanish keeper can be heard bellowing at England left-back Shaw, 25, to stay in position during the 6-1 drubbing at the hands of Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham.

      With games still being played behind closed doors amid the coronavirus pandemic, it is far easier to hear players communicating than normal.
      And Shaw received a verbal barrage from his keeper in the lead up to Son Heung-min scoring Spurs’ fourth goal in the humiliating first-half display.
      De Gea boomed: “LUKEEE!

      “No Luke! No Luke! RUNNN!”

      And after Son had poked the ball past the 29-year-old shot-stopper, De Gea blasted his left-back – who seemingly had ignored him.
      He fumed: “What is your problem – hey?”
      Serge Aurier provided the assist for Son by nutmegging United skipper Harry Maguire.
      And it was a day to forget for the 27-year-old England defender who came up with THREE clear gaffes.

      Maguire hauled down his own team-mate Shaw, allowing Tanguy Ndombele to equalise after Bruno Fernandes’ very early penalty had briefly put United ahead.
      Maguire then fouled his Three Lions skipper Harry Kane three minutes later and allowed him to take a quick free-kick – setting Son away to score the second.
      It was a nightmare first-half for the men in red who made history for the wrong reasons as they conceded four in the first 45 minutes of a Premier League fixture for the first time ever.
      Striker Anthony Martial was sent-off for slapping Erik Lamela with the score at 2-1 as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side unravelled at Old Trafford.
      The ten-man Red Devils suffered further punishment after the break as Aurier’s goal and Kane’s penalty rubbed insult into injury.

      Desperate Man Utd snap up striker Edinson Cavani on free transfer worth £200,000-plus a week despite defensive woes

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have completed a surprise swoop for Edinson Cavani.
      A free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, the Uruguayan forward had been linked with Atletico Madrid, Leeds and Benfica.

      But the Red Devils have won the race to sign Cavani, pushing through a deal on transfer deadline day with a minor delay due to image rights terms.
      An initial one-year contract holds the option for the club to add on another season.
      The 33-year-old is expected to earn over £200,000-a-week in Manchester and could feature against his old club in their Champions League clash later this month.
      Upon signing, Cavani told the club website: “Manchester United is one of the greatest clubs in the world, so it is a real honour to be here.

      “I’ve worked really hard during the time off and I feel eager to compete and represent this incredible club.
      “I have played in front of some of the most passionate supporters in football during my career and I know that it will be the same in Manchester.
      “I cannot wait to experience the Old Trafford atmosphere, when it is safe for the fans to return.
      “I look forward to continuing to write my little story inside the book of football and I know that’s why my focus has to remain the same as always – work, work, work.

      “I have had a conversation with the manager and this has increased my desire to wear this beautiful shirt.”

      Anthony Martial’s red card on the weekend means Cavani’s debut could come in the match against Newcastle on October 17.
      But it was the incredible ease with which United conceded last time out, losing 6-1 to Tottenham, that worried fans most.
      Nevertheless, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ed Woodward have been determined to improve their attack this autumn with £39illion Donny van de Beek also arriving.
      Cavani is the club’s second signing of the day after the capture of Alex Telles.

      The 27-year-old Brazilian international full-back signed from Porto for £13.6m rising to £15.4m based on his achievements.
      With 341 league goals in 556 games for clubs including Napoli and PSG, Solskjaer believes he has acquired a top-class striker much in the mould of Zlatan Ibrahimovic who excelled at United in his mid-thirties.
      However fitness problems restricted Cavani to just 35 games in the past two years and he started just seven games last season.
      United boss Solskjaer said: “Edinson is an experienced ultimate professional who always gives everything for his team.
      “His goalscoring record for club and country is fantastic and we are delighted to sign a player of his calibre.
      “He’ll bring energy, power, leadership and a great mentality to the squad but, most importantly, he’ll bring goals.

      “He has had a brilliant career so far, winning trophies at almost every club he has played for, and he still has so much more to give at the highest level.
      “The opportunity for our young players to learn from one of Europe’s top goalscorers over the last 10 years is fantastic and it will really benefit them going forward.
      “Edinson knows exactly what it takes to succeed and we are all looking forward to seeing him make an impact at Manchester United.”

      Man Utd’s No7 shirt curse was too big for Sanchez, but can Cavani fill the boots of Best, Beckham, Ronaldo and Cantona?

      by

      EDINSON CAVANI has joined Manchester United on a deadline day free transfer.
      The Red Devils, after failing to land top target Jadon Sancho, are expected to hand the veteran Uruguayan, 33, striker their once-hallowed No 7 shirt.

      Cavani – who left Paris-Saint Germain on a free transfer this summer – follows in the footsteps of Old Trafford greats like George Best, David Beckham, Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo.
      But that has not proven a good omen in recent years with the likes of Memphis Depay and Alexis Sanchez crumbling under the pressure of its history.
      For 50 years, the club’s icons bore that shirt with pride, and did it justice.
      But since Ronaldo donned it for the final time in 2009, no one has dealt with the burden of expectation.

      Here, SunSport takes a look back at the superstars to wear the hallowed shirt — and the sharp decline in success – starting with the two recent flops.

      ALEXIS SANCHEZ, 2018 TO PRESENT

      Appearances – 45
      Goals – 5
      No trophies

      After four glorious seasons with Arsenal, Chilean star Sanchez appeared to be a no-brainer when United added him to their ranks for £32m.

      And Robin Van Persie had previously shown that he could adapt from a move from North London.
      However, Sanchez has been a major disappointment – a shadow of the player who ripped defences apart at the Emirates Stadium.
      Just five goals in 45 appearances, he is deemed surplus to requirements – shipped out to Inter Milan on loan this season.

      Memphis Depay suffered curse of the Manchester United No7 shirt

      Success at United

      Appearances – 53
      Goals – 7
      No trophies

      Memphis was immediately handed the No7 jersey by Louis van Gaal after signing for £25MILLION from PSV.
      But, despite the hype surrounding his arrival, it was just constant disappointment for the Dutchman, and he left to join Lyon on loan after 12 months, which soon became a permanent deal.
      Depay has rediscovered his form with the French giants, scoring 53 times in 134 games from the wing.
      It’s a better return than the seven in 53 he managed with United.

      In an era where shirt numbers were not assigned, Best donned it in 141 of his 474 games.
      In 1966, he wore it in what is generally considered his greatest-ever performance, netting twice as United battered the great Benfica 5-1 in Lisbon — and against the  same opponents in the European Cup final two years later.
      Best is considered by many the most naturally gifted footballer to have come out of Britain.

      Immediately picked up the No.7 shirt, despite Steve Coppell still being at the club.
      ‘Captain Marvel’ was unlucky to play in a United side which failed to challenge for the title during the 1980s — and is the club’s longest-serving captain, who won 90 England caps.
      A leader whose influence was apparent as his two goals famously helped the Red Devils overturn a 2-0 deficit against Barcelona in one of Old Trafford’s most glorious nights in 1984.

      Cantona was the catalyst, who helped transform United from nearly men to Premier League champions.
      He won the title in four of his five seasons at the club — and the only time he failed to was when he was banned for eight months for kung-fu kicking a Crystal Palace fan.

      An academy graduate who started off as No28, before moving up through the No.24, No.10 and eventually No.7 shirt when Cantona left.
      Beckham provided vital assists in the Champions League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final in 1999 as United completed an incredible Treble.
      He wore the shirt during his peak years at the club and established himself as the best set-piece taker in world football.

      Replaced Beckham and, at the tender of age of 18, was handed the most prestigious shirt at the club.
      But Ronaldo thrived under the pressure and went from strength-to-strength.
      Won a trophy in all but one season and became United’s fourth Ballon d’Or winner.

      In the whole of world football, only Lionel Messi would have been fit to fill the huge chasm left behind by Ronaldo in 2009.
      Injury-prone Owen was nearly 30, had just been released by recently-relegated Newcastle and was only signed as back-up after United had missed out on Karim Benzema.
      Highs included a last-gasp derby winner, League Cup final goal and Champions League hat-trick, but never came close to doing the No.7 shirt justice.

      United’s 2011-12 Player of the Year was then handed the No7 shirt after three seasons wearing the No25 — and it was again worn by a right-winger.
      However, while Sir Alex Ferguson led his men to a 13th title, Valencia endured without doubt his worst seasons at the club.
      At the end of the campaign, he requested the No25 shirt again and there was no No7 during David Moyes’ reign.

      Sergio Romero’s wife SLAMS Man Utd and begs club to ‘let him go and show respect’ after failed transfer away

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have been slammed by Sergio Romero’s wife as the goalkeeper’s future hangs in the balance.
      With Dean Henderson and David de Gea comfortably ahead of the Argentine in the pecking order, Eliana Guercio took aim at the club.

      Reports suggest Everton are in talks over a move for Romero, 33, to compete with Jordan Pickford for the No1 jersey.
      But Eliana’s Monday evening plea over Instagram suggested the deal had stalled.
      She wrote: “Sergio Romero worked hard for his club.
      “Last trophy they won, they lifted it with him.

      “He helped the team reach four finals/semi-finals and then he was on the bench, only to lose them all.
      “It is time for them to return the opportunity and let him go.
      “RESPECT FOR ONCE!!!! [sic].”
      The scathing statement comes after Romero was dropped for United’s major cup matches last season.

      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced the keeper with De Gea for the semi-finals of the Europa League, Carabao Cup and FA Cup – going on to lose each tie.
      In five seasons with the Manchester club, he has made 61 appearances including the 2017 Europa League final win over Ajax.
      And fans commended Eliana for speaking out on her husband’s transfer saga with Romero a popular figure at Old Trafford.
      One supporter wrote on Instagram: “Unfortunately you are right we don’t deserve Romero we really disrespected him he deserves a move.”

      James replied: “How true is this.”
      Another Red Devil added: “I feel the same, he is always in our heart.”
      While Ben commented: “We all agree.”

      Alex Telles seals Man Utd transfer on £15.3m deal from Porto after Spurs humiliation exposed need to replace Shaw

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have completed the deadline day transfer of Alex Telles from Porto.
      The left-back joins a Red Devils side fresh from a 6-1 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday.

      Alex Telles becomes Manchester United’s second signing of the windowCredit: Getty Images – Getty

      Luke Shaw’s horror show in the Old Trafford thumping helped expose United’s defensive frailties, with 11 goals conceded in three Premier League games.
      And, on Monday, the club confirmed the £15.3million capture of Telles.
      A medical was completed on Sunday evening after negotiations over the left-back’s transfer fee.
      Out of contract at Porto next year, United had seen a bid of £12m rejected in their hunt for defensive improvements.

      But Shaw’s nightmare outing, just one part of an all-round terrible display against Spurs, emphasised the need for a signing.
      Despite breaking into the team last season, fellow full-back Brandon Williams is yet to appear in the league in 2020-21.
      Limited to Carabao Cup action, the 20-year-old signed a new four-year deal in the summer.
      Reports suggest there is Premier League interest in taking Williams on loan, particularly after the arrival of Telles.

      💬 “I’m coming here to give my all.”🤩 Alex Telles is buzzing for his next chapter at #MUFC, and you can hear more from our latest signing here 👇
      — Manchester United (@ManUtd) October 5, 2020

      The Brazil international, 27, spent the last four years with Porto, helping seal a league and cup double last season.
      Arriving in England with the defender will be partner Priscila Minuzzo, who made headlines in Brazil for founding a charity that helps disadvantaged youngsters learn through the medium of street dance.
      Speaking to the official club website, Telles said: “To join a club with the prestige of Manchester United is a huge honour.
      “You have to work hard to get to this moment in your career and now I am coming to this club, I can promise that I will give everything in my heart to be a success here.
      “I won many trophies at FC Porto and I want to continue that at United. The manager has a clear plan and direction for this team and I can’t wait to pull on the famous shirt.”
      Questions have been asked of manager Solskjaer amid United’s difficult start to the campaign.

      And the Norwegian believes Telles can provide an element of mental toughness that his squad has been lacking.
      Solskjaer noted: “He is a player we have been tracking for some time and his performances over the past few years are exactly what we are looking for.
      “He is a fighter and a winner and will add real determination and competition to the squad.
      “Alex has the qualities, both as a player and as a person, that we want here at Manchester United.”

      Frantic Man Utd target Sarr on loan transfer as yet ANOTHER Jadon Sancho alternative but Watford want permanent sale

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly seeking a loan deal for Ismaila Sarr having so far failed to sign Jadon Sancho.
      The end of a long summer transfer saga involving the Borussia Dortmund winger and the Red Devils is nigh, without an agreement in sight.

      All the signs point towards Jadon Sancho NOT signing for Manchester UnitedCredit: Getty Images – Getty

      That has forced United to look elsewhere to bolster Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s attack.
      And French outlet Telefoot report on an approach to take Watford winger Sarr on loan.
      The deadline day bid involves an option to sign the 22-year-old for £45million next summer, and is said to have been rejected by the Hornets.
      Negotiations are described as ongoing with Watford holding out for a permanent sale or an initial loan fee amounting to £25m.

      Senegal international Sarr cost the Championship side £30m last year but has only scored six goals at Vicarage Road, making his second appearance of the campaign in his side’s defeat to Reading on the weekend.
      Liverpool were previously linked with the ex-Rennes star, before opting to sign Diogo Jota.
      Should United fail to sign a wide attacker on deadline day, they could then go back to Sarr given the domestic deadline is not until October 16.
      The Red Devils are also reportedly interested in a loan move for Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.

      Even though the Frenchman is unwanted at the Camp Nou, the LaLiga giants will only entertain permanent bids, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
      Fellow target Douglas Costa is one man definitely not heading to Old Trafford on Friday, after he completed a return to Bayern Munich.
      Going into deadline day, Donny van de Beek was the only man to sign for the club this autumn.
      But free agent Edinson Cavani and Porto left-back Alex Telles are expected to sign on the dotted line before the 11pm close of play.

      Watch Harry Maguire ‘foul’ team-mate Luke Shaw to gift Tottenham star Ndombele opening goal at Man Utd

      by

      HARRY MAGUIRE set Tottenham on the way to a 6-1 win at Man Utd as he pulled back his own team-mate Luke Shaw to gift Tanguy Ndombele an equaliser for Spurs.
      The Red Devils skipper made a horrible mess of dealing with the danger to allow the North Londoners an immediate way back into Sunday’s Premier League clash at Old Trafford.

      Maguire and new centre-back partner Eric Bailly exchanged equally ill-advised headers on the edge of their own box after a Spurs throw had been deflected towards them.
      Maguire then headed the ball back towards David De Gea – but his backpass was so under-hit it barely got past covering left-back Luke Shaw.
      And as Shaw went to put his body between Erik Lamela and the ball, his captain bizarrely appeared to tug on his shoulder, pulling Shaw down and out of the way.
      The ball broke for Tanguy Ndombele and despite Maguire’s despairing attempt at a block the ball ricocheted past De Gea to level the game up at 1-1.

      Things went from bad to worse for Maguire just three minutes later when he fouled England colleague Harry Kane.
      Kane sprung up and was allowed to take a quick free-kick with Maguire choosing to not cynically block the immediate pass and instead found himself out of position high up the pitch.
      Kane threaded a ball neatly through the heart of United’s defence allowing Son Heung-min to make it 2-1 after just seven minutes with Maguire stranded in no man’s land.
      After Kane got himself on the scoresheet, Serge Aurier nutmegged Maguire to assist Son’s second goal and make it 4-1 to Jose Mourinho’s jubilant Spurs.

      United had been gifted a penalty barely 30 seconds in after Davinson Sanchez’s rash challenge on Anthony Martial allowed Bruno Fernandes to convert yet another spot-kick.
      But Maguire’s initial howler sparked a dreadful first-half turnaround for United – which included Martial’s first red card in his club career for slapping Lamela.
      The Red Devils conceded four goals in the first-half of a Prem clash for the first time ever.
      And the onslaught continued after the break with Aurier burying a fifth goal.
      Harry Kane then capped a man of the match performance by slamming home a penalty to hit United for six.
