He was talking about Sancho and actually defending usHarry Redknapp - "Long term, is her better than Greenwood or Rashford? I'm not sure..."
Feck sake
Edinson Cavani - Manchester United Player

- Start date
Was he
I heard them mention Cavani and thought he was being dumb. Ahh well, I agree with him then TBH.
I think we were serious about Sancho, but Woodward thought Dortmund would cave in on their price and deadline. He blew it.
He will completely transform our attack no question.
You having a laugh
AC Milan are one of the better sides in Serie A mate. Not to mention still play in the Europa. It's not like he's playing in fecking Belarus.
AC Milan are not what they used to be. If they were title and CL challengers Zlatan wouldn't be there. So no.
They're still playing and competing at a very high-level FFS. To just outright dismiss that fact is stupid
Everyone needs to chill out a bit. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do.
I'm going to remain optimistic about this. Quite excited to see how he'll do.
What are they playing at giving him the number 7? Just leave it
It's just a number. We gave Owen the number despite him being an ex-Pool player.
Welcome Cavani! Just wish he came a few years earlier, he would easily have been a massive fan favorite here.
Now after 7 months out with training interrupted, with an already injury prone body? I don't think it's fair to expect much.

Only probably gonna be here for a year anyway. I really do hope we're planning on getting someone in January or the next summer who can truly wear the #7.
It's steeped in history at this club, it should be earned.
so they can squeeze marketing out of it
I was never a big fan of Cavani, but he reminds me of Mark Hughes in some ways and maybe we need a mean streak up front..
He definitely offers something different to our young strikers....I am hoping he has a good game against PSG because we are going to need it.

I mean Fergie gave the number 7 to Owen. Were you critical then?
Memphis got it without 'earning' it. Sanchez got it without 'earning' it. Heck, even Ronaldo got it without 'earning' it.
So how do we set up? 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 or 4-3-3
Fergie can do what he wants with the shirt. Since he has gone it should have been left alone until a player of the right stature came about. Just my opinion.
Eh we added those lads to a world class team with a world class manager so they were set up to do well.
Larson hardly stayed long did he?
I'm sorry... I'm only just catching up on this... he's our #7? Jesus.
Jesus.Not got a problem with this on its own, as we've actually got some competition amongst the front three now which can only be a good thing. If it goes to shit, he's gone in June but if he can get anywhere close to his peak this will have been a shrewd but. Let's wait and see.
Do we know how much he's on?
How else is everyone supposed to know we're not going for Sancho again in January or next summer.
On a more serious note, I'd bet anything Woodward insisted on it.
I think this is a good signing and I have no problem with it.
The problem is that we don't have enough quality in other areas and the fact we signed him on deadline day just shows our lack of planning.
This isn't Cavani's fault though and I look forward to seeing him play.

150-170k
Fantastic signing, if we signed our main targets and he was brought in to augment them. But that didn’t happen did it.
Ok cheers. Cheaper than I expected.
Welcome Woodward retirement home - even after you retire, we will still extend your contract!
One of my current playing all time favourite players, chuffed to have him here tbh. Think he will be a success.
“Manchester United is one of the greatest clubs in the world, so it is a real honour to be here. I’ve worked really hard during the time off and I feel eager to compete and represent this incredible club. I have played in front of some of the most passionate supporters in football during my career and I know that it will be the same in Manchester. I cannot wait to experience the Old Trafford atmosphere when it is safe for the fans to return.
“I look forward to continuing to write my little story inside the book of football and I know that’s why my focus has to remain the same as always - work, work, work. I have had a conversation with the manager and this has increased my desire to wear this beautiful shirt.”
Welcome Cavani!

Genuine question, why didnt we keep zlatan a few more years?
Welcome Edinson. Please score goals. Thanks.
Captain too?
He wasn't willing to play a part time role and I'm sure we had doubts for how he would recover from the knee surgery.
We didn't think he would be the same after that knee injury. That could very well have ended his career right there, incredible how he recovered from it and is still playing two years later.
I have the feeling he is going to be a good signing. He will give up the number 7 shirt for Sancho next summer, he did it with Neymar.
He is a hard working player, aggresive and powerful. Very different to what we currently have.

Can he speak English?
At his age the time off contact football the last few months might not be such a bad thing to recharge the body and let injuries fully clear up , seemingly he has kept himself in good shape. We will see in a few weeks.
Sancho and Cavni, yes! Sancho only, yes! Cavani only, nice to have but where is the winger we need now.
