Manchester United would need to pay Edinson Cavani&nbsp;£2 million if he leaves this summer, even if they want him to remain, reports the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/edinson-cavanis-summer-man-utd-23889869" target="_blank">Mirror</a>.

One of the main talking points to come out of&nbsp;&nbsp;Arsenal’s disappointing draw against Slavia Prague&nbsp;was the performance of Thomas Partey. Given Partey’s pedigree and the&nbsp;vast experience he has accrued while playing in top-level European ties&nbsp;with Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid, Thursday night’s crucial encounter was precisely the&nbsp;type of game he was signed to make a difference in. However, he instead struggled badly and didn’t even complete the 90 minutes, with Mikel Arteta bringing him off just over 10 minutes from time, replacing him with Mohamed Elneny.
