Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer played down the nature of the dispute that occurred between his forward Edinson Cavani and Everton’s Yari Mina during the two teams’ meeting in the League Cup quarterfinals.
The Uruguayan forward, who scored a fatal goal, fought with the Colombian player and escaped punishment in the absence of assistant referee video technology, as the technique only works in the semi-final and final rounds.
“They are from South America and they have fought some battles before, not long ago,” Solskjaer said, commenting on the dispute that occurred between the players.
“I think they met in the World Cup qualifiers. But this match was different, with some fans, some interventions and some yellow cards, so I enjoyed it,” he added in comments, among which the website of his club stands out.

United beat host Everton on Wednesday at Goodison Park with two unanswered goals to qualify for the semi-finals.
Commenting on how Cavani scored his goal, he said: “I started with a special play and a wonderful pass from Anthony Martial, as he got ahead of his opponent on the first touch, and then Cavani had to focus on shooting at an angle, and to be a little low, finished the attack with high quality “.
Cavani loves to score against Everton as 50% of his goals for Manchester United are against the Toffes.
Cavani and Anthony Martial scored the goals of the match in the 88th and 5th minutes of injury time.
It became the second consecutive League Cup semi-final qualification with coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Since Cavani joined United, he has scored four goals, including two against Everton.
The League Cup semi-final draw resulted in a replay of the same meeting from last season between Manchester United and Manchester City.
