Cavani strike pushes Ighalo further into Man United shadows

Despite the Nigerian’s encouraging performances last term, he’s drifting into irrelevance at Old Trafford

Things are back on the up again at Manchester United following Saturday’s 3-1 victory against Everton at Goodison Park, as they bounced back from a goal down to put a miserable week behind them.

The Red Devils headed into this one on the back of consecutive defeats—against Arsenal and Istanbul Basaksehir—with two performances to match the underwhelming scorelines.

Against Everton, at least early on, it looked like it would be a similar story, before Bruno Fernandes turned on the class and Edinson Cavani netted a late third to alleviate the pressure—for now at least—on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
