themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-22--Manchester United have found perfect plan for using Edinson Cavani

There were plenty of positives for Manchester United to take from their commanding 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain earlier this week .
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer answered his critics with an inspired tactical approach , Marcus Rashford proved that lightning can strike twice with his brilliant winner , while Axel Tuanzebe bullied Kylian Mbappe like he was a cocky Year 7 who had just tried to steal a football from a no-nonsense Year 11 .
Not only was there plenty to dissect from the overall performance on the night but United 's win in Paris also hinted at what could be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still yet to make their debuts for the club .
Facundo Pellistri travelled but will need to be eased into action , Amad Diallo will be joining at a later date ; though Edinson Cavani could be on the pitch as early as this weekend against Chelsea .
His impact will be the most intriguing given his polarising reputation amongst supporters , but the tactical set-up at United could be perfect in unlocking his deadliest attributes to full effect .
`` He 's living for goals , living for scoring .
When he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he 's one of the best number nines in world football , '' said former coach Thomas Tuchel when asked to give his endorsement of Cavani before the match this week .
The German coach knows Cavani better than most , given their work together at PSG .
But like Solskjaer did with Romelu Lukaku last year , Tuchel sacrificed the proven goal scorer in favour of a more flexible and mobile forward line .
Victory at the Parc des Princes this week proved United no longer need Lukaku if they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the French capital , but it also showcased how Solskjaer will plan to use the man who is effectively replacing him at Old Trafford .
The 33-year-old is clearly a short-term fix to ease the pressure on both Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in the forward line , but unlike Lukaku , Cavani will be content to occupy a squad role , which will see him used primarily from the bench .
His lower expectations for playing time should make for greater squad harmony given his acceptance of limited minutes , while his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's overall approach to game management .
However , perhaps his greatest asset will be within his physicality and fitness up front with Cavani possessing a level of aerial prowess which has n't been seen at the club since Zlatan Ibrahimovic played .
United hope Cavani can have a similar impact to Ibrahimovic with his experience and leadership on the pitch , but it is his threat from set-pieces which might bare the biggest resemblance to the charismatic Swede .
Cavani has crafted a reputation for himself as one of the best heading @ @ @ @ @ @ @ service of both Bruno Fernandes and Alex Telles at his disposal it is a trait that might be about to get even deadlier .
United 's win over PSG on Tuesday night demonstrated excellent delivery into the box , with captain Fernandes regularly looking to put early crosses behind the backline , while the set-piece deliver of Telles was near flawless on his first outing for the club .

United 's set-piece delivery was about as threatening as a Bebe cross when Solskjaer first took over , but after three constructive transfer windows it is now one of the biggest threats .

There were plenty of positives for Manchester United to take from their commanding 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain earlier this week.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer answered his critics with an inspired tactical approach, Marcus Rashford proved that lightning can strike twice with his brilliant winner, while Axel Tuanzebe bullied Kylian Mbappe like he was a cocky Year 7 who had just tried to steal a football from a no-nonsense Year 11.
Not only was there plenty to dissect from the overall performance on the night but United's win in Paris also hinted at what could be to follow, with three summer signings still yet to make their debuts for the club.
Facundo Pellistri travelled but will need to be eased into action, Amad Diallo will be joining at a later date; though Edinson Cavani could be on the pitch as early as this weekend against Chelsea. His impact will be the most intriguing given his polarising reputation amongst supporters, but the tactical set-up at United could be perfect in unlocking his deadliest attributes to full effect.
"He's living for goals, living for scoring. When he scores, when he has the confidence, he's one of the best number nines in world football," said former coach Thomas Tuchel when asked to give his endorsement of Cavani before the match this week.
The German coach knows Cavani better than most, given their work together at PSG. But like Solskjaer did with Romelu Lukaku last year, Tuchel sacrificed the proven goal scorer in favour of a more flexible and mobile forward line.
Victory at the Parc des Princes this week proved United no longer need Lukaku if they are to defy the odds and win in the French capital, but it also showcased how Solskjaer will plan to use the man who is effectively replacing him at Old Trafford.
The 33-year-old is clearly a short-term fix to ease the pressure on both Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in the forward line, but unlike Lukaku, Cavani will be content to occupy a squad role, which will see him used primarily from the bench. His lower expectations for playing time should make for greater squad harmony given his acceptance of limited minutes, while his vast experience will be invaluable for United's overall approach to game management.
However, perhaps his greatest asset will be within his physicality and fitness up front with Cavani possessing a level of aerial prowess which hasn't been seen at the club since Zlatan Ibrahimovic played. United hope Cavani can have a similar impact to Ibrahimovic with his experience and leadership on the pitch, but it is his threat from set-pieces which might bare the biggest resemblance to the charismatic Swede.
Cavani has crafted a reputation for himself as one of the best heading threats in world football and with the service of both Bruno Fernandes and Alex Telles at his disposal it is a trait that might be about to get even deadlier.

The early signs are certainly promising with United now having two set-piece specialists at the club and in Cavani and Harry Maguire they have two perfect players to benefit from such a fruitful tactic.
United's set-piece delivery was about as threatening as a Bebe cross when Solskjaer first took over, but after three constructive transfer windows it is now one of the biggest threats.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-22--Landlord who ran £30m property empire 'like a corner shop' hit with huge fine

A landlord has been slapped with huge fine for fire safety failings that put dozens of tenants ' lives at risk .
Manjit Dulay , from Rochdale , owned a £30m property empire but ran it 'like a corner shop ' , a court heard .
In 2014 he was ordered to carry out urgent improvements at St Clement 's Court , a block of more than 70 flats he owns in Leicester , LeicestershireLive reports .
Dulay failed to do all the work required and a formal enforcement notice was issued in April 2016 .
Leicester Crown Court heard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2017 found recurring problems and new ones .
After discovering that not a single smoke detector in the corridors was functioning , the fire service officers , not wanting to force people out of their homes , fitted new smoke detectors themselves .
Dulay finally hired an online company in 2017 to do a fire risk assessment for £400 but never informed them of the enforcement notice or the scale of problems .
They sent retired Leicestershire firefighter Martin Ballard , 60 , who was unqualified for the job , and his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he was charged with four counts of breaching fire safety regulations himself and appeared in court alongside Dulay .
Despite spending money to illegally build two penthouses on the blocks without planning permission , Dulay failed to do the work required to meet fire safety requirements .
Amid growing concern from residents in the block he was prosecuted and pleaded guilty to six counts of risking people ’ s death or injury by breaching fire regulations .
Bernard Thorogood , prosecuting , said : `` This was a building on occasion without fire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ serious situation .
`` Each breach gave rise to the risk of death or serious injury .
`` Fire is an indiscriminate killer .
Fire and the products of combustion can spread very rapidly . ''
He said the building had a serious lack of fire-resistant barriers – doors that did not fit their frames and others that should have been self-closing in the event of a fire - potentially allowing deadly fumes to fill the building quickly .
He said : `` A corridor can quickly become completely filled [ with smoke @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a single breath can have terrible consequences . ''
Mr Thorogood said that each day in the UK between 30 and 40 fires break out in residential blocks in the UK and that insecure front doors and anti-social behaviour problems in the area around St Clement ’ s Court made the risk of fire greater .
He said : `` There were repeated attempts by the fire service to help him raise standards .

`` He has taken on far more than he could manage .

In 2014 he was ordered to carry out urgent improvements at St Clement's Court, a block of more than 70 flats he owns in Leicester, LeicestershireLive reports.
Repeated inspections uncovered a string of problems including a non-functioning fire alarm system, useless smoke detectors, unsuitable fire escape routes and a broken emergency air venting system.
Dulay failed to do all the work required and a formal enforcement notice was issued in April 2016.
Leicester Crown Court heard that a more thorough assessment by firefighters in 2017 found recurring problems and new ones.
After discovering that not a single smoke detector in the corridors was functioning, the fire service officers, not wanting to force people out of their homes, fitted new smoke detectors themselves.
Dulay finally hired an online company in 2017 to do a fire risk assessment for £400 but never informed them of the enforcement notice or the scale of problems.
They sent retired Leicestershire firefighter Martin Ballard, 60, who was unqualified for the job, and his work on the assessment was so poor he was charged with four counts of breaching fire safety regulations himself and appeared in court alongside Dulay.
Despite spending money to illegally build two penthouses on the blocks without planning permission, Dulay failed to do the work required to meet fire safety requirements.
Amid growing concern from residents in the block he was prosecuted and pleaded guilty to six counts of risking people’s death or injury by breaching fire regulations.
Bernard Thorogood, prosecuting, said: "This was a building on occasion without fire alarm protection, which was a very serious situation.
"Each breach gave rise to the risk of death or serious injury.
"Fire is an indiscriminate killer. Fire and the products of combustion can spread very rapidly."
He said the building had a serious lack of fire-resistant barriers – doors that did not fit their frames and others that should have been self-closing in the event of a fire - potentially allowing deadly fumes to fill the building quickly.
He said: "A corridor can quickly become completely filled [with smoke] so that visibility is removed and a single breath can have terrible consequences."
Mr Thorogood said that each day in the UK between 30 and 40 fires break out in residential blocks in the UK and that insecure front doors and anti-social behaviour problems in the area around St Clement’s Court made the risk of fire greater.

Woodward said: "On the field, we will never be satisfied at Manchester United unless we are winning trophies. But our third-place finish in the Premier League and strong cup runs last season showed that, while there is more hard work ahead and the path is not always smooth, we are making progress.
"We have a clear strategy under Ole to build a successful, committed team, with a core of homegrown talent blended with high-quality recruits that plays fast flowing, attacking football."
On the pitch, United have a few injury concerns ahead of this weekend's game against Chelsea. Mason Greenwood and Harry Maguire were among the players absent from Tuesday's brilliant win at PSG.

Manchester City started the new Champions League season with a win last night, overcoming Porto in a feisty encounter.
City fell behind to a Luis Diaz goal for Porto, but were soon back on level terms after captain Raheem Sterling was brought down in the box and Sergio Aguero stepped up for his first goal of the season.
As Porto tried to disrupt play as much as possible, City held firm and deservedly took the lead when Ilkay Gundogan curled home a free kick. Substitute Ferran Torres sealed the victory soon after with a brilliant effort after a one-two with Phil Foden. However, City were handed an injury blow when late substitute Fernandinho had to go off with a muscle injury.
Pep Guardiola later confirmed Fernandinho could be out for six weeks, having aggravated a muscle injury he has had previously. Nathan Ake was also missing from the matchday squad after picking up a 'niggle' in the groin, although that absence was more precautionary. Guardiola also said Kevin De Bruyne and Aymeric Laporte could return to training this week.

The Ministry of Justice has made an out of court settlement.
John Ahmed, a 42-year-old father of four, died on July 29 2015 whilst a remand prisoner, following restraint by prison officers.
After a five-week inquest in early 2017 a jury concluded that prison officers used unlawful force against Mr Ahmed leading to his death.
He died hours after an officer performed the mandibular angle technique of restraint, where force is applied to the nerves of the jaw 'to exert pain to gain control'.

Two prison officers were investigated by police after allegations they committed perjury at Mr Ahmed's inquest but as revealed by the MEN in July, they will not be prosecuted.
Crown lawyers decided there was insufficient evidence to prosecute them. But John's family have launched an appeal against that decision.
The coroner, Nigel Meadows, raised concerns about some of the evidence heard at the inquest, and referred the matter back to Greater Manchester Police at its conclusion.
The force launched an investigation into 'perjury and misconduct in public office'.
As a result two prison officers were interviewed and a file prepared for the CPS by police. No action will be taken against them after an investigation lasting more than three years.
The coroner also said at the end of the inquest that he would make a Prevention of Future Deaths Report to draw attention to the lack of guidance in place for health care staff regarding their role in restraint, which he said was untenable.
(Image: MEN)
He also said he would be following up his concerns about the lack of CCTV coverage of the areas where the restraints took place.
At the inquest in 2017, a forensic pathologist said the cause of Mr Ahmed’s death was ‘multi-factoral’, but said being restrained was a contributing factor.
Dr Naomi Carter said in her evidence that Mr Ahmed died primarily as a result of cardiac arrhythmia.
The physical and emotional effects of being restrained were also a contributing factor to his death, she said.
Stress hormones released into Mr Ahmed’s blood, paired with an enlarged left ventricle in his heart and his obesity, also contributed, the court heard.
Mr Ahmed’s heart stopped beating in the middle of a struggle with a number of prison officers during a drugs search.
Prison officers and nurses tried to revive Mr Ahmed, but he died at North Manchester General Hospital.
Before being restrained, Mr Ahmed was seen in the exercise yard at Strangeways with a fellow inmate.
The pair were led away by officers to a ‘search corridor’ after they were spotted stepping over the ‘do not cross' line to retrieve an object that had been thrown into the yard.
Mr Ahmed claimed the package was ‘only tobacco’ after complaining to the other prisoner that he wanted 'a smoke'
The inquest heard an officer saw Mr Ahmed put something down his trousers, which made them suspicious.
During the search, they found the package contained tobacco and a tablet tightly wrapped in cellophane, a medication for pain relief ‘often misused in prison’.
Officers carried out a drugs search on Mr Ahmed in the isolation wing. Prison staff claimed they started to restrain Mr Ahmed after he leaned forward, as though to try and assault one of the staff members, it was said.
As he entered the cell, a prison officer claimed Mr Ahmed turned and lifted his arm as though to assault him. At this point officers brought Mr Ahmed down to the ground, once again into the prone position.
Officers decided to take him to the segregation unit, with the court hearing that he was uncooperative on the way
When officers from the unit took over to perform another search on him, Mr Ahmed was said to be ‘thrashing his arms around’ and ‘kicking out’.
Mr Ahmed, from Rawtenstall, who was originally from Swinton, was found to have had a cut on his wrist, where handcuffs had been, and a red mark on his back.
After he resisted efforts to be restrained, officers used the mandibular angle technique of restraint.
Mr Ahmed then began to ‘gurgle’ and ‘froth’ at the mouth, with a silver piece of paper which had been in his mouth being retrieved. Tests found it had no trace of drugs or medicines.
Then Mr Ahmed became pale and unresponsive. A nurse performed CPR and paramedics were called
The inquest jury heard Mr Ahmed, a former heroin addict, was being moved to another wing of the prison after he was given a warning about his behaviour.
On July 28, 2015 - the day before his death - Mr Ahmed, who had a history of mental health problems and was taking anti depressants, phoned his mother to tell her he was having some ‘privileges’ removed because of ‘behavioural issues’.
Mr Ahmed's parents, John and Margaret, took civil action against the prison over their son's death.
Mr Ahmed is the second child Margaret and John have lost. Their son Dean died aged 12 in 1986 in a horrific car crash in Irlam.
Another boy died in the accident but John, then 14, survived the crash.
The cash from the payout will be divided amongst the family.
Margaret said: "The unlawful restraint of my son John by prison officers have left myself and my family with everlasting grief.
"If the restraint had been carried out lawfully my son would still be alive today. I have lost a loving son and his daughters have lost their devoted father. John was my son, my friend, my helper, who I was heavily dependent on.
"I had to listen to lies over the five weeks in the Coroner's court, which compounded my grief. John's death should have been avoided and the Ministry of Justice know that.
"Those officers did wrong and their actions and words have broken my heart. They should reflect on what happened on July 29th 2015 and look at their own children, and know they took a human life due to a proven unlawful restraint verdict in Her Majesty's Coroner's court room."
John's father, John senior, said: "My son's autopsy proved there was no drugs in his body, other than his own prescription medication. The piece of silver paper that was supposed to have been in his mouth was tested and there were no traces of drugs on it."
Commenting on the family exercising their right to appeal the CPS decision not prosecute the two prison officers investigated by police, he said: "I am going to pursue and get justice once and for all. The truth will come out.
"If I get a negative result in my appeal to the CPS in London I will request a new investigation by Greater Manchester Police."
The damages paid by the Ministry of Justice will be divided between members of John's family.
A spokesman for the MOJ declined to comment.

England has now entered another national lockdown.
It's the third time national measures have been imposed by Boris Johnson in 10 months.
This means that the whole of Greater Manchester and all 10 boroughs, including Rochdale, must follow the same set of coronavirus controls as the rest of the country.
It comes after an alarming rise in cases due to the superspreading variant.
On December 31, Greater Manchester was previously placed into Tier 4 of England's four-tier lockdown system set out by the government.
Now, residents must stay at home and only leave the house under certain exceptions.
Schools have been closed, as have non-essential businesses.
Failure to comply with the lockdown rules could result in fines of up to £10,000.
What are the latest lockdown rules in Rochdale?
The main points are:
You must not leave or be outside of your home except where you have a ‘reasonable excuse’ which will be implemented into law.
You should minimise time spent outside your home. It is against the law to meet socially with family or friends unless they are part of your household or support bubble.
You can only leave your home to exercise, and not for the purpose of recreation or leisure, such as a picnic. This should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.
You can exercise in a public outdoor place with one person from another household but you must stay 2m apart.
There are still circumstances in which you are allowed to meet others from outside your household, childcare or support bubble in larger groups, but this should not be for socialising and only for permitted purposes.
If you need to travel you should stay local – meaning avoiding travelling outside of your village, town or the part of a city where you live – and look to reduce the number of journeys you make overall.
You can only travel internationally – or within the UK – where you first have a legally permitted reason to leave home.
You cannot leave your home or the place where you are living for holidays or overnight stays unless you have a reasonable excuse for doing so.
Shielding has also been reintroduced. People who are clinically vulnerable and who were previously told to shield should stay at home and only leave for medical appointments and exercise.
Funerals can be attended by a maximum of 30 people. Linked religious, belief-based or commemorative events, such as stone settings and ash scatterings can also continue with up to six people in attendance.
Weddings and civil partnership ceremonies must only take place with up to six people but should only take place in exceptional circumstances.
A number of businesses must close: non-essential retail, hospitality venues, accommodation, leisure and sports facilities, entertainment venues, animal attractions, indoor attractions, personal care facilities, community centres and halls, outdoor sports venues. There are exceptions to these.
Essential businesses can remain open, along with essential public services such as dentists.
