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.
