Breaking news: Manchester United lose another player ,as he bids farewell to Ten hag and team mates in training,as he arrives chelsea for Medicals .

 

Edinson Cavani has insisted he 

will leave Manchester United with

 happy memories despite the club's 

dismal campaign and his own injury

-hit season as he confirmed his 

Old Trafford exit.

The 35-year-old Uruguayan striker

 had been widely expected to depart 

the club in the summer after two 

years at United.

Cavani enjoyed a bright start to his 

career in England, scoring 17 

goals in his first season for the Red Devils.

But he struggled in his second campaign

 with just two goals in 20 appearances

 as he missed large parts of the season

 with various injury problems.

Cavani quickly became a popular

 figure among United fans but 

supporters have grown frustrated 

with his lack of game time.

He has only completed 90 minutes

 for the club once since the start 

of January, which came in the 1-0 

defeat to Crystal Palace in United's

 final game of the season last Sunday.

In an interview with United's website

, Cavani thanked the supporters 

and admitted he hoped for more 

this season.

I sincerely have nothing but words

 of gratitude towards the fans and

 supporters of Manchester United

,' Cavani said.

'Honestly, they have shown 

me a lot of respect from the very 

first moment I arrived. I think they've

 greatly recognised all the hard work

 I've always tried to put in in the 

best way possible, giving my 

best for this team.

'I really am very grateful, and I'll

 be leaving here with a happy memory

 of that affection they showed 

me and always displayed.'

'I wanted to contribute more this season

. One of the things that has left 

me with a slightly bitter taste is that

 when we had a highly enjoyable 

and pretty decent [2020/21] season

, we weren't able to have the 

supporters along with us.

And now, this season, with the fans 

coming back into the grounds and 

stadiums, I haven't really been able

 to have the kind of campaign, if 

I'm being honest, on a personal 

front that I would really have liked.'

Cavani is among several players 

who will be leaving United as the

 club prepares to embark on a 

new era under manager Erik ten Hag.

Nemanja Matic and Lee Grant have

 confirmed their departures, while 

Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Juan

 Mata are all set to head for pastures 

new - although they have not yet

 confirmed their future plans.
