Man Utd Fans Think Edinson Cavani Gave Axel Tuanzebe "Tips" On How To Defend Vs PSG

Manchester United fans think Edinson Cavani played a key role in their victory over Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday - with footage of him "teaching" Axel Tuanzebe emerging.

Tuanzebe was drafted into defence as United ran out 2-1 winners in Paris and he managed to dominate Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

A video of United training earlier this week resurfaced and it shows Cavani in a deep talk with Tuanzebe while making gestures.

Cavani joined United from PSG in the summer and there's a chance he could've been giving the 22-year-old key advice regarding this former teammates.

It shows that while Cavani currently isn't fit enough to play for United, the experience he brings could prove to be vital throughout the season.

Meanwhile, BT Sport pundits marvelled over Tuanzebe's performance and they think he is exactly what United need in defence.

Owen Hargreaves declared: "I love him. Good luck getting this guy out of the team.

"To be fair he is a good athlete, he makes good decisions, physically he has a presence, he wasn't fazed by Mbappe or Neymar, I think he grew into the occasion.

"Scott McTominay put in a top performance here a couple of years ago, this young man is not getting out the side, if you can have this athleticism in these positions then you have something special."

While Rio Ferdinand added: "This is where Man United have struggled in the last six to 12 months, in them areas, chasing players down the channels, they can't stay with them and then that opens up the back four or back three.

"But he was smelling danger. Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] just said he faced two of the best strikers in the world, he snuffed out danger many a time today, you have to reward performances like that.

"He has had a hard time with injury, but again first game in 10 months, to come in and play like that out of the cold, you deserve to be rewarded but Ole is the man to make that decision."
