Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Hints At Delayed Start For Edinson Cavani

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Hints At Delayed Start For Edinson Cavani

Edinson Cavani

According to Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, new striker Edinson Cavani is not quite ready for action ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Uruguayan was unable to feature in the Manchester club's 4-1 Premier League win over Newcastle United on the weekend due to COVID-19 quarantine restrictions.

While the former PSG star may be raring to go for his new team, it looks he will have to wait a little bit longer as he does not look to be in line to enter the Red Devils' attack for their Champions League tie on Tuesday night, with United boss Solskjaer saying the forward has "not ticked all the boxes" yet.

"He's naturally fit. He is fit enough, but he needs to play football with the rest of the players and be in those kinds of situations," the Norwegian told the club's official site.

"Of course, you can't live on memory, really, because it's been a while.

"He's very thorough, professional, and he knows what he needs and what he wants. He still hasn't ticked all the boxes before he's available to play."

United could have Anthony Martial back in attack, with the player currently serving a suspension in the Premier League after he was given his marching orders against Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month.
