Manchester United’s dramatic win over Unai Emery’s Villarreal will be remembered for Cristiano Ronaldo’s late winner Edinson Cavani’s late introduction sparked late pressure from the Reds.

As the clock wound down in the 90-minute affair, a second goal was looking increasingly unlikely for United, who looked set to settle for one point from their opening two games.

Cavani had other plans, however. One incident, as seen above, shows the Uruguay international pulling out a lung-busting run to rescue a wayward pass from Nemanja Matic. Ronaldo is also seen giving up on the overhit effort.
Cavani ran the width of the pitch to keep it in play and succeeded, which eventually resulted in another attack for his side.
