Manchester United dominated proceedings against Everton in the EFL Cup quarter-final tie at Goodison Park, but failed to convert the chances they created in the second half.
It needed an 88th-minute strike from Cavani’s left foot to break the deadlock and Anthony Martial scored another in injury time to book a place for Manchester United in the semi-finals of the competition.
The Uruguayan produced a big moment on Merseyside on Wednesday night and Martin feels that is what big players do when their teams need a goal from them.
He feels Cavani showed at Goodison Park why Manchester United decided to sign him on big wages in the summer despite his age.
Martin said on MUTV: “That’s what he has done all his career and that’s why we signed him for, moments like that.
“The top teams, when it’s 0-0 like that, they will get one or two chances towards the end and it’s the top teams with players like him who can finish them off like that.
“And that’s exactly how it panned out and that’s why we are paying the money for him.”
Cavani scored against Everton in the league as well and netted a brace against Southampton earlier in the season to help Manchester United come from two goals down to win 3-2 at St. Mary’s Stadium.
