Fans also jumped to credit Cavani for a display which also saw him regularly tracking back to win possession for his side:
@Jonty887: “At 34, Cavani still has lungs to keep running the entire length of the game. I think he was excellent if not phenomenal for Manchester United last night. Opinions may vary.”
@madarooy: “Cavani gave his all tonight. Sad to see him on the losing side.”
@Ehtsham02: “How many recoveries/interceptions did Cavani make last night, guy’s work-rate is a joke man.”
Cavani’s final performance ensured he was nominated for the Europa League Player of the Week award, alongside all-action team-mate Scott McTominay and the Villarreal pair of Etienne Capoue and Gerard Moreno.
