Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recalled some advice from Sir Alex Ferguson as he reflected on Edinson Cavani’s double for the win at Southampton.
Cavani came off the bench to score twice in Sunday’s 3-2 win.
Solskjaer said: “Sometimes when we scored goals, it had to be the ‘perfect’ goal, walking, with an extra pass and great skill.
“Edinson has been around the block and scored so many goals and played football for so long. He’s been between those posts so many times, he’s seen this game before, he’s scored that goal before. He knows exactly where to move and his best friend. in the box is what Sir Alex always used to tell me: ‘Your best friend in the box is space,’ and he goes into that space with perfect timing. “
Solskjaer continued: “He has had a great career and has scored goals wherever he has been. He is so professional, so meticulous in his preparation, in his recovery, in what he does at lunchtime, before the game, during the game. .
“So I was surprised he didn’t have his boots on when the second half started. Also, having a focal point in the area is important to us, we really haven’t had it since Romelu.” [Lukaku] left. Antonio [Martial], Marcus [Rashford], Builder [Greenwood], are different types of forwards. It gives us great balance and a mix, so we wanted to mix it up and we had an impact. “
