El Matador Cavani Continúa Sepultando La Maldición Del 7 En El Manchester United

Otro día más de oficina para Edinson Cavani y otro gol más para el uruguayo. Saliendo desde la banca, el Matador convirtió el tanto que cerró la victoria 1-3 del Manchester United sobre Aston Villa y que mantiene su demoledor ritmo frente a las redes rivales. De paso, sepulta la maldición del número 7 en los Diablos Rojos.
