Edinson Cavani back at Parc des Princes on Tuesday, with Manchester United?
Maybe not.
In any case, as reported by the English press, the 33-year-old Uruguayan striker did not make the trip to Paris with the rest of the Mancunian delegation on Monday, the day before the match.
Parisian for seven long seasons, from 2013 to 2020, the Matador was however happy to find his old club, his old garden, Sunday, on
TF1
: “I am going to live an exceptional moment that nobody imagined.
It will be an incredible moment.
A beautiful emotion. ”
Thomas Tuchel, he already predicted that it would be "a little weird" to cross swords with the concerned, three and a half months after his departure, while not forgetting to sing the praises of a player whom he trained for two seasons.
"It's not him alone against us," he added.
Believe Edinson Cavani has not traveled with the #mufc squad to Paris.
Didn't arrive for flight and United staff weren't expecting him.

In the end, it may be without him.
Obviously, Edinson Cavani can still land on the banks of the Seine between now and Tuesday.
But we know that he has not played since last February and this knockout round of the Champions League against Dortmund, with PSG (2-0).
And that he hasn't been able to train with the Red Devils until Sunday since signing at MU.
His absence for this match on the first day of the group stage of the Champions League would therefore not necessarily be very surprising ... Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will undoubtedly say more during his press conference, this Monday at 8 p.m.
Cavani is the top scorer in the history of PSG (200 goals).
Note that Harry Maguire and Mason Greenwood would also be absent.
The former Lyonnnais Facundo Pellistri, he made the trip.
