Former England international Darren Bent believes Man Utd will “blow the table” if they bring Edinson Cavani to the side instead of Anthony Martial.
The Uruguayan firmly announced his arrival in England on Sunday when his double from the bench catapulted Manchester United to a comeback 3-2 win over Southampton.
Cavani had scored another goal in the Premier League up to that point and has yet to start a match in the league.

But Bent thinks that should change on Saturday when travel to London stadium to face West Ham, with Cavani now ready to play from the start.
Bent said talkSPORT: “When he came in against Southampton, those two goals he scored, especially the first one where he managed to find all this space in a penalty area full of all the Southampton players and he still had five yards of space, which is amazing in itself. .
“You speak of someone who has a world-class movement that can sniff out a goal. I don’t think Martial can do that.
“I think Martial is a very good player technically. He can take the ball and pass people, but someone who can sniff out an opportunity where someone might miss a shot, like Bruno Fernandes did when (Cavani) heads for the first goal or goes into the six-yard box where someone it will slide and you can touch it.
“People think it’s just a touch, but a lot goes through their heads to be in that position.
“Obviously it was going to take him a little time to adjust, but now he has those two goals that he has to start games.
“I think that will help Man United set the table apart.”
