Paul Ince sends message to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer about Edinson Cavani role at Old Trafford

Paul Ince is unsure whether Edinson Cavani should become a regular starter at Manchester United, despite his vital display against Southampton. The Red Devils beat the rivals 3 - 2, with the Uruguay international coming off at half-time and recording two goals and one assist for his side. Ince was impressed by the attacker's performance last weekend, considering him a "world-class" and much better option than Anthony Martial. "Listen, he’s world-class," former United man told Premier League Productions. "He’s not one of those that’s going to run channels or work the centre-halves but what he does is… if you put the balls in the right position, he will score you goals. "He’s probably what Man United need, a proper centre-forward. Martial is not a centre-forward. He can play along the lines but he’s not an out-and-out centre-forward. "They tried it with [Odion] Ighalo, it didn’t really work. [Cavani] is world class. "He knows the areas to go into, he can sense goals, he sniffs out goals and I think he will score a lot more goals for United this year." Despite his excellent impact on the squad, Ince, however, thinks Cavani may be more effective coming off the bench rather than starting for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side. "Listen, I’m sure Cavani’s done enough to warrant a start, but it depends how [Solskjaer] sees it. "Cavani’s in his 30s, he can’t start every game, but what he can do is come on and make an impact like we saw [at Southampton]. "Whether he can start from the beginning, I’m not too sure. I think he might want to, but he’s got options now. "When Ighalo came over from China, he was coming on for the last 10-15 minutes because he wasn’t too sure about him. "Now he knows he can throw someone like Cavani on, 45 minutes, and he will get goals. It’s good to have those problems, that’s for sure," he added.
