Gary Neville says Edinson Cavani has grabbed Manchester United's number nine spot in a way the club's younger attackers have not been able to.
Neville believes Cavani is now in United's strongest XI, with the Uruguayan forward retaining his place in the Reds' starting line-up against Everton on Saturday night.
With six goals in 21 matches, Cavani has not scored as many goals as Anthony Martial or Marcus Rashford this season, but Neville believes the 33-year-old's work rate and movement are what sets him apart from his younger teammates.
Neville told Sky Sports: "I was a little bit nervous, obviously with the last minute nature of the signing, it’s sort of a little bit reminiscent of the signings that have gone wrong for United over the years, but I have to say, he’s been a revelation.
"His attitude, which was the only real question about him because his ability is fantastic, has been spot on. His out of possession work is far better than Martial, Rashford and Greenwood, I think they’ve got a lot to learn, those young players, about the way he operates when Manchester United don’t have the ball.
"Ultimately, those young three haven’t grabbed that number nine spot. He’s come from the bench to start with and made an impact, and his movement is better, his out of possession work is better, his experience is good and he looks more physical up front when he’s there.
"He really has done brilliantly for United in this last month or so."
