United have a new energy since Mourinho Departure

Edinson Cavani has revealed that PSG is more than capable of stopping a resurgent Manchester United side when they face off in the round of sixteen in the Champions League. Cavani 31, spoke in Doha to promote the Parisians winter tour to Qatar. 

Manchester United have been a side transformed since the departure of Jose Mourinho, with caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær winning all six games in charge, including an impressive 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Talking about the game in February, Cavani recognized that United had improved significantly. “The departure of Mourinho has given the team new energy, and that has been shown in recent weeks.”

“They have started to win matches and find continuity, we will be facing a motivated team that has a lot of history in Europe” added the Uruguayan attacker.

PSG has struggled in the Champions League in recent years, having only reached the quarter-finals in recent years. Cavani noted that a resurgent United will be a tough test adding that Champions League success is a priority for the Ligue 1 leaders.

“PSG is a team with great individuals that has improved recently.  We will have a difficult task against Manchester United.”

“I think Paris has always been at a level to compete well in Europe and I think everyone has seen that, but we have lost games. It is an important objective for us to succeed in the Champions League.”

PSG will continue their tour of Qatar, which will include a training session at the Khalifa International Stadium.
