Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani will not make Wednesday's trip to Atletico Madrid.

The Red Devils will be trying to cause an upset in the Spanish capital for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie.

But Cavani - who has only made one United appearance in the last month - won't be making the journey as he continues to recover from a groin injury.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, the boss said: "Edi will not make the trip.

"He didn't train and hasn't been training for a couple of weeks.

"He has problems with his groin and, as long as he doesn't feel ready to fully sprint, it doesn't make sense to train him."
