Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani scored his first goal of the Copa America campaign last night.
Cavani scored the second goal as Uruguay won 2-0 against Bolivia.
The strike was Cavani’s 52nd goal at international level.
And it caught the attention of United assistant boss Mike Phelan. He posted on social media praising the striker’s lethal qualities.
Phelan’s message shows how excited he and the rest of the coaching staff are to have Cavani still on the club’s books. The striker recently signed a contract extension to stay at United until 2022.
Cavani’s goal came in Uruguay’s third Copa America match following a defeat to Argentina and draw with Chile.
With four points Uruguay are in a position where they should reach the knockout phases, and there is a final group game against Paraguay coming up on Tuesday at 1am.
While we would rather see Cavani resting up, you can’t beat the sight of him scoring. He posted on social media to express his delight at scoring.
