Edinson Cavani accuses failed European Super League plans of depriving 'more modest teams' a shot at Champions League football... as Manchester United star also vents anger at VAR for damaging the 'essence of football'

Edinson Cavani has launched a scathing attack on the failed European Super League plans, accusing them of trying to deprive 'more modest teams' a chance to play in the Champions League.

The Manchester United forward also took aim at VAR, insisting it is destroying 'the essence of football' because of the wait players have to endure before they can celebrate while a goal is checked.

The 34-year-old has signed a new one-year extension to his Old Trafford deal and figured in defeats to Leicester City and Liverpool in the Premier League in a frantic week.
