His career with United will be short, but not soon forgotten. What a man.

Came in here to mention this. His face when he walked into the shot of the other players celebrating was hilarious
A real man. Gave his number to Ronaldo which didn't bother him in the slightest and seems to have been running a great relationship with him.
Commands respect without being a prick. Got quality in abundance, too. I'm so happy we got him. Perfect signing on all fronts bar his age which is obviously nothing we can do about.
He hasn't played hundreds of games for us but I still know I'm gonna miss him when he leaves/retires.

I’m baffled by all this talk of him being a real man, if only we’d signed him earlier etc. He’s become some sort of cult hero and I just find it really strange. I thought at the end of last season he was superb. EL final he was easily our best player for me and one of only a few who didn’t deserve to lose the game……but aside from that he’s done next to nothing, at all.
League and CL :-
Cavani 38 appearances 11 goals
Ronaldo 11 appearances 9 goals
I get not everyone has to be Ronaldo but he’s done less than A LOT of players have and somehow earned this Demi God recognition for what I’m not sure?
The only player I have any sort of regard for aside from actual footballing performances is Rashford, he’s done something special. I’m not sure anyone else including Cavani deserves any mention for human praise.
Youre all weird

Er no, you're weird. There's plenty to like about Edi.

Nothing to grind with Edi….he’s fine. But that’s all. Nothing more. He hasn’t been great. He hasn’t been anything but he’s been fine. He’s had some good games. My axe is with people acting like he’s been anything more than that. People act like he deserves a statue and I’m thinking Scholes, Giggs, Becks, Ruud, RVP, Stam, Keane, Schmeichel, Bruce, Pallister, Evra, Vidic etc etc etc….like Cavani has done nothing at all. He’s been alright. He was underwhelming for most of last season but didn’t cost anything. Other than that had a good end to the season. Has done nothing yet this season.
What? I mean he’s fine but so what….he hasn’t done anything of note.Er no, you're weird. There's plenty to like about Edi.

How many of those appearances were cameos instead of full 90 mins ?
Moreover, the entire team is set up to service ronaldo and which wasn't and isn't true for cavani.
What's weird about admiring one of the best strikers in the history of the game? A true proffessional he is. His career is almost over but he still works his socks off every single game and does everything he can for the team. I've never seen a striker who runs back as much as him, works as hard as him to win the ball back all over the pitch yet at the same time scores such an incredible amount of goals throughout his career.I’m baffled by all this talk of him being a real man, if only we’d signed him earlier etc. He’s become some sort of cult hero and I just find it really strange.

Nope, we are not being weird we are simply showing gratitude to an all time great.
He scores some important goals and has a fantastic work ethic. It’s easy to see why he’s a fan favourite
Everyone knew that his fitness after leaving PSG was super suspect and we signed him to be the perfect sub and impact to young squad in tough games. And he has delivered that role with his ethics and game performance. He ain't on that prime level anymore but can still be model pro.I’m baffled by all this talk of him being a real man, if only we’d signed him earlier etc. He’s become some sort of cult hero and I just find it really strange.

His attitude is incredible too, was unfairly benched whilst the Martial experiment went on far too long last season. That despite it being obvious from his first few appearances that he was still at his age a miles better option than Tony.
Not a single complaint though, simply scored some important goals from the bench, then worked his way into the side, and finished the season as arguably our best player as Jeppers himself admits.
Then he signs for another year though it appears his family was against it.
Ronaldo wants his number? No problem, here you go.
Ronaldo immediately and unfairly you could argue again, takes his well earned spot in the team. Complaints? As if. He just works even harder, so much so the manager declares a training performance from him pre-Spurs as the best he’s ever seen as manager.
Comes back into the side v Spurs, is pure class again.
Then he’s dropped again for an important CL game? Complaints? Mood? Once again, as if. Comes on and works his ass off.
At this point the only weirdo is Jeppers and his weekly Cavani grumble. Does he have a Cavani voodoo doll at home?
Not sure if youre old enough to remember Henrik Larssons time with Utd, but it's pretty much universally remembered in a very positive light.I’m baffled by all this talk of him being a real man, if only we’d signed him earlier etc. He’s become some sort of cult hero and I just find it really strange.

He played the grand total of 7 league games for us, scoring 1 league goal.
Sometimes it's not all about the numbers on paper, although in that respect Cavani's numbers are more than respectable.
What do you want him to do? Win a cl final in the middle of the season or what?
You do one of these a week and we’re the weird ones?
Baffles me though. I feel like I’m reading Bryan Robsons threadOk first of all are you old enough to remember Rooney, Tevez? Secondly he might be a current great, but he isn’t an all time great of football. It’s these mass hyperbole’s that I don’t get. He won’t be in the top fifty strikers of all time and in addition to that when reflecting on his actual performances for United he’ll be well down the list, an afterthought.
What's wrong with saying "we should have signed him earlier"? He was fantastic striker for a decade with insane work rate.
You posted the same whiney post last week.
Since your post last week the manager has told you that rather than see his arse over being unfairly benched this season, he put in the best training performance he’d ever seen. He followed that up by being superb and scoring a lovely goal versus Spurs, and was subsequently benched again for Atalanta. Not a complaint from the man, just came on & worked his ass off like always.
Yet that week has caused you to come back again and whinge about Cavani? What the feck is wrong with you?
Nothing to do with the week, certainly nothing to do with our bizarre manager’s bizarre comments. I didn’t think he was superb against Spurs though but his goal was a nice finish. It’s comments about him as if he’s some kind of super hero. Like he’s Bryan Robson. You might disagree, fine. No need to post whiney little responses. I’m asking genuine questions you don’t seem to like it. No worries it’s all opinions.
I see that from one side, but in terms of what he’s done purely for us…I’d reserve that for RVP for example.
You’re doing them on a weekly basis, simply because you can’t understand why you’re in the tiny minority, that’s the definition of being a whine.
You’re in the minority because you’re wrong. He’s a very likeable player, with an incredible attitude, and no-one talks about him like he’s Robbo ffs, that’s some daft strawman you’ve invented in your own brain.
How could you not think that when you look at his career and what he's showed when fully fit ? Your stats about his scoring while true, don't take into account the context of him having barely played at PSG the year before, him getting injured, him getting suspended and therefore losing match fitness and rhythm.
A younger and fitter Cavani would have scored 35-40 goals each season for United.
Yes….for me he will be remembered like Larsson. Like a good player in the twilight of his career who played for us for a while. The end.
Unless he actually does something of note this season.
You always attack the poster when you disagree with them……
Couldn't have said it better.
How have I attacked you? The post is a whine, you’re making whiney posts on a weekly basis because despite being in a teeny tiny minority you think you’re right.
Is that “attacking” you? Wtf
RVP had one great season before he signed for us and was always a injury prone player.
Also when people say "we should have signed him years ago" they don't consider player's ManUtd contribution only, they consider what a player he was for a decade.
I’m looking at it from what he’s done for us….like I don’t look at Laurent Blanc and think I wish we’d have signed him earlier based on what he did for us, but if we had he’d no doubt have been superb. Same with Alexis Sanchez. If that makes sense.
Alexis Sanchez?
Clearly that's not what people think when they say "I wish he played for us before"
I mean you cannot be serious with the way you understand a statement like that. @roonster09 explained it in details. You're creating a debate that doesn't even be there.I wish we had signed Bastian earlier, not the crock version Bayern gave. Another example of a player who was top class and fitter before arriving at Utd
Sanchez would have been exceptional player but he never worked hard for the team and played well for us. So he never got that fan following at ManUtd.
Cavani works his socks off every game and a quality player so its easy to see why many fans like him.
If you look through he hasn’t actually scored that many important goals, defining goals or goals against our rivals at all.
For me when I look through I find :-
Southampton x2
Spurs away last season
Fulham away to equalise
There’s probably more in the EL but we shouldn’t be playing in that and him not scoring any goals in CL is part of the reason we did.
I get his work ethic certainly but a team of runners doesn’t win you anything. Rooney ran around a lot but his all round game was world class and when I watch Cavani his link play and ability on the ball is not.
But that to me then just becomes pointless. Laurent Blanc, Alexis Sanchez were both disasters for us. But if we’d have signed them earlier may not of been. It’s non relational to how they performed for us. I can see that being said for Zlatan for example. I think Cavani sits in between.Clearly that's not what people think when they say "I wish he played for us before"
I wish we had signed Bastian earlier, not the crock version Bayern gave. Another example of a player who was top class and fitter before arriving at Utd
I see your outlook on it, it’s just so broad and baseless though, it could be said about any older player coming into the club regardless of how they played.
Same on Bastian….I barely remember he played for us based on his contribution.
That's all you're giving Cavani credit for? His movement alone makes the game easier for the likes of Bruno, Rashford and Greenwood as we saw last season, and I'm sure Ronaldo will benefit too.
You’re doing them on a weekly basis, simply because you can’t understand why you’re in the tiny minority, that’s the definition of being a whine
You do it all the time. You don’t like when someone disagrees with you. You try to attach some form of negative connotation to the poster. That’s weird also.
Also I’ve never said I’m right, I’m interested in why others think so highly of him. But everyone has an opinion and that’s fine. I’m not trying to change anyone’s. Just trying to understand and finding it hard.
No…the poster said he scores important goals. It was in response to that.
I would say there wasnt a noticeable improvement in our results, team play or goals scored was there? I’m sure someone will have stats on this and if I’m wrong fair enough.
I think you're wayyyy overcomplicating things. It's a simple wish formulated by fans who appreciate the player. Nothing that deserves that much of a ridiculous dissection. I actually cannot believe that I had to precise all of that.
Because if everyone had his mindset and attitude, we would be top of the league, or at least much closer than what we currently are.
