'Unlucky' Edinson Cavani should leave Man United in January after losing his place to Cristiano Ronaldo for the sake of his Uruguay career, insists compatriot Gus Poyet

Ex-Uruguay star Gus Poyet believes Edinson Cavani should try and leave Manchester United after falling down the pecking order following the return of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo made a sensational return to Old Trafford in summer and, while fans certainly celebrated his arrival, a certain team-mate has not.

The Portugal international's arrival at his former club has seen Cavani's game time severely restricted.
