When will our fans wake up to him?
Thank god he isn't a Ukrainian soldier!

AgreedShould be released. No point in having him in the team
5 posts above yoursOut of interest, how many Uruguay matches has he missed while he's been here?
Maybe if anyone can be bothered to turn matches missed for us and matches missed for Uruguay into percentages.
Even before joining us he was clear his target was Qatar and would retire after it. So yes, big part of how he goes about things.Is he going for the World Cup? Maybe preserving his body for that might be his priority atm.
He both wanted to be closer to home and have regular football (again, WCQ, Qatar, etc). There's no way he wasn't told he had a big role to play, very much key to our plans... Wouldn't have stayed otherwise.I get the feeling we begged him to stay even though I don’t think he wanted to.
When is the next Uruguay game?
That’s a disgrace@MUFCScoop: Rangnick: “Edi [Cavani] trained well in the last three days but in the end he didn’t feel quite well enough to play.” #MUFC
This guy!
Trained well, didn't feel like playing though.
Wtf is this post.5 posts above yours
4 starts and 3 subs in 16 qualifiers

Then we go sign Cristiano, i.e. "you are not playing actually, whoopsies". The club also adheres to not releasing South American players for international break, i.e. "you are not playing anywhere just in the off chance we need you".
Ole compounds it saying as a Norway international he always knew who his bosses were, only succeeding at making it very clear that Norway isn't in South America. As culturally sensitive as the FA on all things negrito. Edinson goes on to not being used much at all, whether injured or not, until he shows up in training after the Liverpool debacle. That earns him a start against Spurs, his best game this season.
But, but, he makes 1m quid a month! Who cares about promises and player management? We just want non-mercenaries who only care about who pays them and how much ()
Newsflash: sometimes things other than money are actually more important to people.
Make or break qualifiers in March so definitely not risking himself.
He sure as feck won't be telling his grandkids about our 2021-22 season. At least nothing to do with football. Maybe how being a stupid cnut can ruin your life and that of others around you? Probably, but not much else. A Europa League qualifying campaign is nothing to write home about even if we take it to the wire.
You think players should have a say in who we sign? Or that it’s ok to down tools if the club signs a player in your position?Clearly not enjoying this season and wishing he wasn’t convinced he stay. Shame
There was always a massive risk when we spent all that time convincing him, only to then sign Ronaldo to play his position.

Just saw this gem

I’m just wondering because your post comes across as sympathetic
I think it’s unfair to convince a player to stay who clearly really wanted to go home after a tough first lockdown year in England; telling him as Ole confirmed at how important he was going to be, and what a huge role he would play for us. To then go and sign another player in his position who was a guaranteed starter is unfair and must’ve really felt like being stabbed in the back (despite how well he handled the No. 7 thing), hardly surprising from a human aspect if that really affected him.
We (Ole) desperately wanted Cavani as his main number 9 this season, but had no problem fecking all those promises off once Ronaldo became available. Cavani probably felt from Ronaldo’s first game, that this season was now utterly pointless for him and that he never should have allowed himself to be convinced.
So yes, obviously I have sympathy.
It's not a matter of what I think, or what you think (we know, trust me).Wtf is this post.
You think it’s fine that a player puts Country above Manchester United, decides when he plays based on what National games are coming up. You think it’s ok that he down tools because the club don’t agree that after an extended summer, when he’s finally fit to start, he wants to spend another 6 weeks in Uruguay.
You think any player playing for United should down tools when faced with competition for a starting place and you think us paying that player £1mill a month shouldn’t mean that we expect something in return.
Honestly your post is the most ridiculous post I’ve read on here.
Is this a joke? He doesn’t bother playing. If he cared about more than his ego.It's not a matter of what I think, or what you think (we know, trust me).
The post highlights things that happened and how they must have affected the player and his relationship with the club, given what is known to be important to him.
That's the thing with passionate/driven players, they have a soul and not demotivating them is a significant factor in how you handle them.
But yeah, knock yourself out and keep calling him a mercenary making too much money, then unprofessional for caring and being affected by things other than money. Whichever suits your agenda will do.
Oh, it's his ego now.Is this a joke? He doesn’t bother playing. If he cared about more than his ego.
We could do with a Roy Keane right now, absolutely.Roy Keane was a passionate driven Player. I can’t imagine him spitting his dummy out when we signed Veron.
He should have taken on the defender and tried to score himself.What an assist that would've been at the end!
100% this. It's such a shame he has been constantly plagued by injuries and issues since he's joined us. Would have provided so much more to our side if not for it.The guy is hard to hate on the pitch. The woke rate and the celebrations. He was smiling the whole time celebrating Ronaldo's 3rd like he was a proud brother.
Probably something to do with the 250,000 little things a week we give him.Why did he stay another year?
