EDINSON CAVANI was among the stars at ringside as Amir Khan and Kell Brook settled their grudge in Manchester last night.

The bitter rivals finally clashed at the AO Arena last night, with Cavani one of a number of footballers to take in the action.

However the Manchester United star was more interested in the undercard.

Cavani, 35, was there supporting Uruguayan compatriot Chris Namus as she took on Natasha Jonas for the vacant WBO super-welterweight title.

Unfortunately for the striker, Namus was knocked out just 28 seconds into the second round.

As he was making his way around the venue, Cavani may well have bumped into rivals from the blue side of the city.

Jack Grealish and John Stones were both in attendance, while the former was spotted chatting with his former Aston Villa team-mate and current Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards.

Stones, 27, had just been an unused substitute as City lost 3-2 to Tottenham in a tea-time thriller at the Etihad.

Grealish, meanwhile, was sidelined with a shin problem.

Cavani’s Manchester United will be in action against rivals Leeds this afternoon at Elland Road.

But he won’t be in action, with boss Ralf Rangnick confirming that the veteran is still suffering from groin and stomach issues.

Other footballers in attendance included former England duo Fabian Delph and Danny Rose.
