Edinson Cavani was surprised by the culture of giving up the pen at MU

In the recent game, the Red Devils achieved an epic 5-0 win over Leipzig in the Champions League group stage, and forward Edinson Cavani was shocked by one thing.

Man United’s pen-giving culture

In the 87th minute of the game, forward Anthony Martial was hit by a violent foul from Sabitzer in the box and MU immediately received a penalty. At the time, Marcus Rashford doubled and had a chance to score a hat-trick, plus the right to take a free kick belonged to him (Solskjaer decided to prioritize a penalty from a lead kicker, and Bruno Fernandes pointed to shot from the bank).

But the number 10 striker surprised everyone with the decision to give the penalty to Martial, the player who earned it. This camera angle was not shown on TV, but BT Sport posted it after the match. In it, midfielder Fred made a motion to pet Rashford to praise this treacherous action.

One MU fan with humor said, “Rashford really wants everyone to eat,” after the player’s charitable actions in real life.

Witnessing this condescending ball, forward Edinson Cavani didn’t know what to think. On the one hand, he himself wanted to score the first goal for a new team, but he also understood that he was just a rookie and that the right to take a penalty was designated before. On the other hand, perhaps Cavani is also happy for his young teammates, as well as for the solidarity of the Red Devils, when he himself fell into the scandal of competing for a penalty with Neymar at PSG.

This weekend, MU will have a big battle with Arsenal at Old Trafford, and this is the last game that Martial has to receive a suspended sentence in 3 matches. Also, ‘king of cards’ Mike Dean will hold the whistle in this game and penalties are likely. Cavani could then take over.
