Having to undergo 14 days of independent isolation, Edinson Cavani is threatened with failing to serve his debut match with Manchester United

DBasia.news – The new Manchester United striker, Edinson Cavani, must be patient to make his debut match with The Red Devils. As Cavani must undergo isolation for 14 days in accordance with the regulations imposed in England.

The 33-year-old player from Uruguay completed the transfer as a free agent in the closing seconds of the transfer market. Cavani has a status without a club after his contract expired with Paris Saint-Germain last June.

Cavani has been infected with Covid-19 while on vacation in Ibiza, Spain with his colleagues at PSG. A number of players on vacation were also infected such as Neymar, Angel Di Maria, Keylor Navas, Marquinhos, Leandro Paredes and Mauro Icardi. In this case, Cavani, who should have been released from quarantine regulations in England because he is an athlete, must undergo quarantine.

That means Cavani will not be able to make his Man United debut against Newcastle United on October 17 in the Premier League. His debut could occur against his former club, PSG in the Champions League group stage on October 20.

Manchester United coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer thinks Cavani is a great player with extraordinary experience. Cavani always gives everything for the team he defends. His goal record with the club and national team is considered fantastic so Solskjaer is thrilled to obtain him.

“He will bring great energy, strength, leadership and mentality to the squad, but most importantly, he will score goals,” said Solskjaer as quoted by Metro, Thursday (8/10).

Solskjaer added that Cavani has had a brilliant career so far and has won trophies at every club he has strengthened. According to him, Cavani still has the strength to play at the highest level.

Having Cavani in the squad, he continued, is an opportunity for young players to learn from one of the sharpest goal machines in Europe in the last 10 years. If young players learn then it will benefit them in the future.

“Edinson knows exactly what it takes to succeed and we are all looking forward to seeing him make an impact at Manchester United,” he added.
