Thomas Tuchel believes Manchester United have signed one of the best No.9s in world football by bringing Edinson Cavani to the club, but his return to Paris Saint-Germain will not overshadow tomorrow night’s Champions League clash.
Cavani completed his move to Old Trafford on deadline day but, due to Covid-19 isolation restrictions, he has yet to feature for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
The 33-year-old joined his new team-mates for training for the first time on Sunday, after the 4-1 win against Newcastle, and is expected to make the trip to France on Monday afternoon.
A potential debut is on the cards against his former club, but Tuchel does not think the Champions League group stage game will be overshadowed by Cavani’s return.
“He was the best scorer, he wrote part of our club’s history. He’s definitely a great player but it’s not a story about PSG v Edi or vice versa,” Tuchel told a pre-match press conference.
“We’ll definitely be on the watch. It’s hard to defend against him – he can make the difference and we’ll be prepared for him.”
