Revealed : Cavani sends heartfelt message to fans after playing final game for Man Utd
Manchester United striker Edinson
Cavani sent a heartfelt message
to fans after making his final
appearance for the club on
Sunday, May 22.
Ralf Rangnick's side slumped to
a facile 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace
at Selhurst Park on the last Premier
League matchday of the season.
The Uruguayan's contract with the
Red Devils is up in June and he's
moving on as a free agent following
a disappointing campaign.
He netted only twice this season,
as injuries kept him off the field for
an extended period of time, and
failed to add to his paltry tally yesterday.
An injury to Cristiano Ronaldo opened
up a chance for him to return to the
starting XI but Cavani turned in
a poor display, making the fewest
touches of any outfield player
in the match with 31.
After the game, though, he sent
a heartfelt goodbye message to Manchester
United's supporters on social media
, accompanied by a video of him
waving to the fans inside the stadium.
He wrote on Instagram (via
United In Focus):
“I would have several things
to say to you, but I just want
you to know that I wish
you all the best in what’s
to come…”
Cavani joined Manchester United
on a free transfer from PSG in
2020 on a one-year contract, and
struck 17 goals in all competitions
as the club extended his stay
by another year.
However, it turned out to be a
waste of time and money as the
Uruguayan struggled with injuries,
while Ronaldo's arrival certainly
pushed him behind in the pecking
order too.
The former Napoli and PSG striker
recently told ESPN Brasil that
he wouldn't have remained at Old
Trafford had he known in advance
that the Portuguese ace would
be returning.
A return to South America was
on the cards for him but it was
later revealed that a move to La
Liga will be Cavani's priority.
Manchester United desperately
need to sign a new striker
Manchester United struck only
57 goals from 38 league games this
season, with almost half of them
coming from just two players -
Ronaldo (18) and Bruno Fernandes (10).
A new striker will be on the
top of their wishlist for the summer
as the Red Devils clearly need a
new goalscoring talisman to lead
the line for them.
Ronaldo has shown what he's
capable of, even at this age, but he
wasn't consistent enough, and at
37, they shouldn't expect too much
from him either.
