Edinson Cavani came to Man United’s rescue…netting a crucial equalizer to salvage a 1-1 EPL draw with Newcastle this morning.

The draw leaves the Red Devils in seventh place, seven points off the top four…but with games in hand over the teams above them.

Newcastle, meanwhile, remain second from bottom…two points away from safety.
