Manchester United rocked with another injury blow as Edinson Cavani misses Man City clash

Manchester United have been hit with yet another injury blow with Edinson Cavani to miss today’s Premier League clash with Manchester City. The Uruguay international has been battling for fitness in recent weeks. And, with Cristiano Ronaldo already sidelined, Ralf Rangnick will have to think outside the box. 

Manchester United go into today’s derby showdown with City looking to get their Premier League campaign back on track.

The Red Devils slipped to a disappointing goalless draw with Watford last weekend, with the likes of Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Elanga all spurning glorious chances to break the deadlock.

Rangnick has insisted United have improved under his guidance but also concedes today will be a real test of his side’s mettle.

And he’ll have to oversee the match with both of his senior strikers, Ronaldo and Cavani, sidelined through injury.

The Athletic say Cavani won’t be involved at the Etihad Stadium, despite Rangnick previously indicating his No 21 would be able to perform for around 30 minutes if needed.
