How Man Utd could line up against Everton with Cavani fit after ankle injury but Bailly a doubt after Saints demolition
OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER is set to have Edinson Cavani fit for Saturday’s clash with Everton.
The Old Trafford match-up, kicking off at 8pm, comes after the Red Devils were handed a largely-clean bill of health.
Eric Bailly is the only doubt despite being fit for the bench in the midweek thrashing of Southampton.
Cavani scored in the first-half of the 9-0 romp before being replaced at the break.
And United boss Solskjaer is confident the Uruguayan will shake off an ankle problem for the Everton game.
He told reporters on Friday: “Edinson should be available, definitely.
“He got a bad ankle knock.
“Eric is a doubt, apart from that everyone’s raring to go.”

Victor Lindelof should remain in the defence even if Bailly is fit, with Luke Shaw maintaining his spot.
The left-back was rested at half-time of the Southampton win to allow Donny van de Beek a runout.
Solskjaer said ahead of the game: “Consistency of course is vital.
