The Uruguayan forward went on to score in the 2-0 win that booked United's place in the semi-finals.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer felt there was never a danger of Edinson Cavani being sent off for a clash with Yerry Mina during Manchester United’s 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Everton.
Cavani set United on their way to the semi-finals with an excellent late finish, but he could arguably have already been in the dressing room after a coming-together with Mina.
Uruguayan forward Cavani appeared to grab Mina by the throat before the Colombian defender tumbled to the floor.
