Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer joked about his matchwinner against Southampton “he has to be ready!” after his evening began in far-from-ideal circumstances.
The Red Devils fought back from two goals against to pull off a spectacular comeback and seal a 3-2 win over Southampton.
Bruno Fernandes and Edinson cavani combined to score the first two goals. The Uruguayan center-forward then scored a winning goal in injury time after a delicate header left the Saints in despair and Manchester United in ecstasy.
However, the news was not entirely good, as David De Gea was substituted at half-time after a hit received while trying to save a James Ward-Prowse free kick.
Talking to Sky Sports after the game, Solskjaer He said: “Let’s check it out a bit (David de Gea). Hopefully I can be okay by Wednesday, but I’m not sure. Dean (Henderson) played well.
“He is a goalkeeper used to being vocal. He wants to organize the team. He had a couple of neat stops to make. He was safe with his hands. After the first half, we got back to playing well.
“It’s one of those that when you win, it doesn’t really matter. In the end I was very proud with the 2-2 because we did very well ”.
FULL MATCH REPORT: Fernandes and super sub fire as Man Utd produce an emphatic contest
Cavani’s afternoon began with a false start. Rather comically, the Uruguayan paused to make an alteration to his footwear in the band when the second half started without him.
Solskjaer scoffed at the situation, saying: “He probably couldn’t warm up on the field and then realized he needed bigger cleats. It has to be ready!
“This team is getting better and better, which is what I want to see. We are in shape. “
Solskjaer voiced his opinion on Cavani’s impact on the BBC, saying: “Of course, great impact. He is a number nine who wants to be between the posts, he is always on the move, he wants to get in front of you and I am very happy with him.
“On the training ground, in the locker room and during meals, how meticulous he is… He knows what he wants to eat, how much he wants to recover, everything! It was a superior move and its timing is fantastic.
“His hunger to get to the end of things is the key for a center forward. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it doesn’t, but to score you have to be there. “
Cavani the best I have faced – Maguire
Harry Maguire also spoke to the press and revealed to the BBC that Cavani is the best striker he has faced in training.
“We have created numerous opportunities,” said the center half.
“We felt like we had finished with the score at halftime. We really gave them two bad goals. We knew we had to move on. The next goal was crucial. We had that belief and confidence. Fortunately, Edinson put it in the back of the net.
“It’s weird because 2-0 down at halftime we felt like we were still in the game. We knew we were causing trouble.
“In the first half we had very good chances. We knew that we had to improve, play with more intensity and take advantage of our opportunities. When it got to 2-2 it looked like only one team would win the game.
“His movement is excellent on the box. He is the best I have played against during training. It is in constant motion. We know what he has and what he can bring to this club. It is important that he start now because he is a great player. “
