Alan Shearer was impressed with Edinson Cavani after watching his latest Manchester United game. Cavani came off the bench to replace Anthony Martial after 75 minutes of United's Boxing Day clash with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. It took the player only four minutes to make an impact, as he provided a superb assist for Bruno Fernandes to put the visitors 2-1 ahead. Unfortunately for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men, the game ended with a 2-2 score. Shearer said: "There were two great examples of movement, touch, technique and bringing people into the game from Vardy and Cavani. Cavani tends to take the ball on the half turn, which is great as too many times I see centre forwards collecting the ball with their back to goal. "He has great awareness and provided a lovely through ball (for the Fernandes goal). It was absolutely magnificent and his technique was spot on. They (Cavani and Vardy) are two very good forwards." Cavani has largely been used as a substitute since signing for United on a free transfer in early October.
