Manchester United supporters have reacted furiously to Edinson Cavani being handed extra time off after his exploits for Uruguay in World Cup qualifying.
Ralf Rangnick confirmed in his press conference earlier today that the veteran frontman has requested more days away, having played for his country.
His absence will mean that he is not available for selection against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup tomorrow, and United fans have vented their anger on social media.
One Twitter account posted: 'He's disrespected the club so much... but the fans love him because he does knee slides and shows passion.'
Another said: 'Edinson taking the mick. Another waste of time player earning a six figure salary. Joke club.'
'Cavani always with extended leaves. I am getting sick of it,' said a third.
One account posted a photo of a text conversation between a short-staffed manager and an employee, and likened it to the situation involving Cavani.
'Cavani when United need him to play more than once a month,' the caption read.
'Ridiculous tbh,' was the verdict of another clearly-irked user.
'Nah this Cavani guy p***** me off, man. How many f***** holidays does the guy need? His commitment to the club is atrocious but the fanbase s**** him off,' a sixth said.
Cavani played in victories over Paraguay and Venezuela, and will now report back to Old Trafford later than initially planned, with permission from the interim boss.
'Edi Cavani will only return at the weekend,' Rangnick revealed. 'He contacted me to ask if he could have two more days at home. He won't be part of the group.'
Jesse Lingard was also afforded a longer break to 'clear his mind' after missing out on a deadline day move away, despite interest from Newcastle and West Ham.

He’s 34 years old. Give him a break! If Ronaldo played for Portugal like Cavani did I doubt he’d be in the squad for tomorrow’s game.
youre wrong! cr7 would be in the squad... the reasons are that he wouldnt have to travel far to play for Portugal, 2 his family is in manvhester and he would want to come back to them too... 3 cr7 has a better fitness record than cavani...

Cavani is just at United to collect his pension fund

I swear some of you fans have lost the freaking plot, and understand nothing about this game and how it works. Sure it’s annoying when a player of his quality is out, but he just played 2 big games overseas, and needs to recover like any other player his age before the next game. Why is that such a crime and the end of the world? If you’re team is that dependent on an aging 34 yrs old, you might want to start by looking there.

he is a fighter whenever he plays he does that with passion and energy from his heart , a true warrior .. but his off days are soo disgusting for someone that earns that much
he's he's 34 and injury prone, yet every team would want him even just for his mind set

he's the only player in United that I like, pity they didn't let him leave... That he doesn't want to play for them right now is completely justified with what's going on with the club

Southampton went a man down early on in this particular match, unfortunately. United were not spectacular but the scoreline was quite flattering like most of the results we got under Ole.

He should kindly retire and forfeit making money with the old body
Ok but it is United that offered him a contract.

Fans should take in mind that Cavani is not 20 years old anymore and his body needs more time for rest.

Well, he is getting older. I’m sure he knows his body by now. I don’t see a real problem with it.

Lol he is a veteran and he requires time to recover not like younger players, United supporters have alot of airtime some complaints are not worthy
