I doubt anyone does mate, even most people from this part of Europe don't particularly enjoy the lack of sunlight at certain times of the year.
Cavani is not respected enough around here

Still one of my favourite players 
Who did he swear at? Utd fans or Crystal Palace fans?
Won’t be remembered.
It's bullshit. The general public in the UK can't believe it goes dark at 3 and we see this winter every year.
These journalists are the real enemies.
Unfortunately we got him way past his peak and it was difficult to even get him on the pitch for various reasons. His time is strange in that his actions didn't scream commitment, and yet his performances were relatively committed, at least relative to some of his team mates. Overall I don't think he's one that will be remembered too fondly - he did okay for periods.
Utd need to stop with these type of signings, the last few years have been our tribute to the AC Milan retirement home for declining stars tour of the late 00's.
He was alright in his first season but people lost their shit because he ran around. There were also rumours he was refusing to play or declaring himself unfit for some games he didn’t fancy. The second season has been a waste of everyone’s time. He hasn’t really wanted to be here at all.
Falcao, Zlatan, Cavani, Ronaldo. Its Manchester United not a retirement home.
Cavani was never good enough for us.

It never worked out, sad to see him go.
Are you kidding? Another good riddance, amongst too many
I'm not.
It didn't work out for the reasons I and others expected. He's injury prone and quite simply a bit precious. Shame this 2nd season ever happened, because if he'd left last summer he'd probably be remembered a lot more fondly.
Twang or Twanker?
The ones at City seem to not mind it
A second off the book wage deal helps.
Also, I cringe everytime I see the thread. Guy is constantly injured and rarely features for the club, has wanted to leave for a good amount of his time here and some people think he's not respected enough?
The ones at Liverpool seem comfy enough too.
the excuses they bring are so funny. They always mention a second wage which is hilariousTheir second off the books salary helps.
So why do a lot of the South Americans who've played for United seem to mind then?
Aye. It's a pity we didn't get him a few years earlier.
Liverpool prominently have an Egyptian, Brazilians and players from Iberia. No problems with them. They are all mercenaries. We just need to become better at buying those who would actually play per their pay. Cavani has been using United as a training base for his World Cup appearance.
What's this 3pm crack? Earliest it gets dark in Dublin is about half 4 in the depths of winter.
Definitely. He was great for us last season. But this was a season too far for him. I'll have fond memories of him.
I still remember Larsson's half a second here but Cavani will be forgotten as soon as he leaves.
Funny how in two seasons a player can go from being a cult hero to largely disliked.
“Cavani couldn't believe that it got dark outside at 3 pm in the winter”
It’s like me moving to Australia and then being shocked that instead of snow I’m witnessing 40 degrees at Christmas. Do some basic research ffs.
Good fecking riddance to this dimwit.

Me too.
I'm not sure on this, signing older players has it's merits however we've obviously applied the strategy poorly at times with varying results.
- Falcao was still only 27/28 and was signed on loan with a view to a deal IIRC. It didn't work out but was relatively low risk with a potential high reward - sure the wages were high but we were dishing out stupid money that summer anyway.
- Zlatan led us to one trophy and well on the way to another before his injury. We then replaced him with Lukaku. 90 odd goals in the 5 years since leaving us would suggest backing Lukaku over Zlatan was a poor move.
- Cavani was good for us last season, did a good job and was exactly what you want from a senior pro. Obviously he got the hump this season but had he left in the summer he'd have remained a popular signing.
- Ronaldo, well you're not going to not sign Ronaldo. I still maintain the biggest issue with signing him was then asking him to play the lone striker role which he's literally never played consistently at club level. It was an insane thing to do early on but obviously after January we had no other options. Still got 24 goals though.
Same, love the man.
I've seen Paris get dark around a similar time in winter and this guy lived there for 6 years.
Had we won the Europa League last season Cavani's time with us would be remembered quite fondly by the vast majority of our fans, irrespective of him downing tools since Ronaldo came around.
Flip flop... Very fickle the aul caf.
no, I think it’s fair enough. He was great in his first season, in his second he clearly didn’t want to be here.
I got a lot of stick for saying he would flop here and wouldn't break 10 goals in his first season. I was wrong, he got exactly 10. He was once class and put the effort in on the pitch but ultimately he wasn't good enough during his time here. He will be remembered fondly for a while but eventually barely make the footnotes of our history.
If we’d have bought a few a years ago, under stable management and a respectable squad, he’d have been legendary.
He got 17 in his first season.
Come on, are we to believe dark at 3 pm stuff? How did Ogden come to that kind of information, mate of a mate of a mate of Cavani's mate.

Seems like a United issue. Maybe we don’t look after our players adequately - I mean there’s been a report Murtough was looking into this side of things, no? Or maybe we don’t screen the attitude of the players we’re going after well enough, but they seem to settle just fine at other clubs.
Yeah Odgen's full of shit.
