With the international break on, many members of the squad opted to stay back and recover. However, to the delight of fans, Cavani's Instagram revealed the Uruguayan was out hiking, unlike his other teammates. The ace striker was still seen grinning a day later as he shared a video of himself enjoying the great outdoors and while speaking to the club's website, stated:

“I'm very calm and relaxed off the field, very laid-back. I'm a little bit calmer. I'm one of life's hard workers. On a day off for me, the first thing I try to do is to try to go out for a walk. I really like nature and it's true that I like to go fishing; I like the countryside and wildlife. So, whenever I get a day off, I try to get away from that football environment and all that comes with it on occasions.”

Edinson Cavani will score plenty of goals for us: Harry Maguire

Maguire stated that it was great to see the Man United No 7 come on and work tirelessly up front and do the dirty work. Maguire claimed Cavani got his reward right at the end for all his effort.
