THE Manchester United will face Middlesbrough in the FA Cup on Friday afternoon, but will not count on the center forward Cavani, in a situation that angered the fans. The Uruguayan made a request to coach Ralf Rangnick to be given more time off.
The striker was called up by the Uruguayan national team to play for the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. He participated in the games and claimed to have worn out due to the FIFA date, asking not to play the club’s next match. However, this did not go down well for the English team’s fans.
“Edi (Cavani) only returns on the weekend. He called me to ask if he could spend two more days at home. He won’t be part of the group.”, said the coach.

Although Cavani is one of the favorites of United fans for giving himself a lot on the field, the attitude was not well received, mainly due to the fact that his contract expires at the end of the season. The striker’s request could indicate that he no longer wants to play for the club knowing he will not renew.
