EDINSON CAVANI NEWS

In contention Wednesday Cavani -- who missed Saturday's clash with Leicester City due to his international commitments -- is available against Atalanta on Wednesday.

Impact Cavani has served primarily as a substitute option this year, as he has made just one start in four appearances, though he has been limited by injuries. Still, the forward should at least be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI given United's busy schedule and could offer decent mid-range fantasy value if he gets the start.

Out after international duty Cavani is returning late from the national team and will miss Saturday's match against Leicester, according to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Impact Cavani started Thursday night, so he won't be risked less than 48 hours later, especially since he's not a regular in the squad. It's likely he'll be available again for the midweek Champions League match, though starts may be hard to come by with Cristiano Ronaldo healthy.

Misses chance in first start Cavani took one shot (one on target) and created one chance in the 1-1 draw with Everton on Saturday.

Impact Cavani finally made his return to the starting XI, but he failed to make any lasting impressions. The forward will need some time to get adjusted back to match fitness and until then he will see very little production.

Makes long-awaited debut Cavani took one shot (none on target) and sent one cross (none accurate) during the 1-0 loss to Aston Villa on Saturday.

Impact After Cavani had been out for the start of the season, the veteran striker finally made his season debut for the Red Devils. Unfortunately, his only real opportunity was stopped by a handball in the box and nothing came from it. Now that Cavani is available, it will be interesting to see how he is used with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Impact Cavani is available again, but it's unknown what kind of role he'll have in the team. It's most likely he'll serve as more of a super sub, though he'll likely only come on for Cristiano Ronaldo, which makes his playing time unreliable.

Impact Cavani is yet to play this season as he's being rested, and he's out once again for Saturday's game against Wolves. He should be back by the end of the international break, but he has probably dropped down the depth chart at forward now that Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to United.

Impact Cavani returned to training this week, meaning he's probably not 100 percent fitness wise and won't be an option to start. Even then, there's a chance he's not even on the bench Saturday given his lack of training with the team, not to mention Man United have numerous options available to them in the attack.

Out for opener Cavani is finishing off his isolation period but will miss Saturday's opener against Leeds, according to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Impact This was expected to be the case for Cavani, who returned late from his involvement in Copa America. Cavani seems to be at a point in his career where he takes things as they come where nothing is a surprise and that led to 13 starts last season, a number he'll fight to be around in the new campaign.

Yet to clear quarantine Cavani has been training at home while in quarantine and is a doubt for Saturday's opener against Leeds, reports Manchester Evening News.

Impact Cavani returned late from his involvement at Copa America and it doesn't look like he'll be an option Saturday. While Marcus Rashford is also out, Man United still have plenty of pieces to use, whether it's Daniel James and Jadon Sancho or even Paul Pogba in an attacking position, it doesn't matter.
