After conceding twice in the opening 45 minutes, Ole Gunnar brought Cavani off the bench, and the summer signing netted two goals and an assist to inspire United to a late win.
"He is one of the best because of his experience and qualities ,"OGS said (via the club's official website). "He is one of the best movers you can see. He can peel off the shoulders, he can get infront of you, he can pin. He wants to be in between the two posts, which i love. I love a centre forward who gets in there. It might hurt sometimes but when you are there and you get the ball there you have gambled and the ball's been delivered, it is a goal. Two goals!!"
Despite falling two goals behind, United were by no means poor in the first 45 minutes and should have found the back of the net at least once themselves.
Southampton's second, a free-kick from James Ward-Prowse, sent goalkeeper David De Gea flying into the post and despite his attempts to carry on, he was forced off the field at half time with an apparent knee injury.
"A knock just above the knee, so hopefully he will be ok for Wednesday, but we don't know. Let's have a little scan or check tomorrow but Dean Henderson came on and looked very assured."
