To be fair I can understand why they don't want to pay that sort of money in the current climate. Dortmund know it as well.

Is he always injured?
Not really interested I already know the outcome. 34 year old crock on 200k a week.
That's good to know then.
One can dream, but I don't get the vibe that he'll be anything near Zlatan. I'm preparing for disappointment.
No idea, just expecting him to not be that amazing. It's a classic United last minute 'try and keep the fans happy' panic deal. As far as I'm aware he hasn't been doing much lately to warrant a ridiculous wage.
Makes sense to me. Ighalo is gone in January and there are tons of games in a short period. We'll need to rest Martial at times and Cavani is a better option than Ighalo.
What wages does the caf think Cavani will be on? He was linked with benfica..and briefly with Leeds..
2 year deal, feck me...
Why did we extend Igahlo's loan to January and then go sign Cavani too?
Clearly wasn't planned this and Cavani is meant to be some sort of damage control saving face move.
This club can get fecked.

I'm actually glad we're getting him. He'll obviously be a bench option and mostly play in the Cups, but unlike Ighalo should offer us some much needed quality in the box. Don't see much wrong in giving him a 2-year deal and why should we care what wages he'll be on?
I reckon 150-200K. I think it will be highly incentivised too.
Cavani hasn't been crocked though? It's not remotely like Falcao who was coming off a terrible injury. Low-risk free agent signing which adds depth is fine. It should be in addition to Sancho and Telles but who knows if they get done.
Uruguay media reporting it now.
Edinson Cavani and Manchester United, deal closed. The forward travels at night to England for a medical check-up and signing the contract until June 2022. The turns of life and football will put him face to face with PSG in this Champions League. Closed novel.
Heading to Manchester. Edi Cavani travels to England to sign with United and will rival Psg for the Champions League.

250k/week
January is only 3 months away mate. The opportunity has come up for Edinson (who was very close to Benfica earlier in the summer I believe) and I think we're right to pull the trigger on it.
Doubt Cavani is going to be brought in as a backup or rotation option somehow. Pretty certain he'll be moved up front, Martial will be moved to left and Rashford to the right while Greenwood will be benched. People are massively overrating how much rotation we're going to have.
There would have been riots if Mourinho would have signed him. 3 years ago.
If we had signed others and this added some cover and experience fine, but so late and in isolation smells of desperation and will not appease many fans. The shite is def going to hit the fan
He's had a move to Atletico and Benfica break down.
I'm not against this transfer.
The problem is we need more than just another striker.

Because overpaying on wages is one of the major reasons we haven't signed a world class player in a position we needed to strengthen who would improve our team for the next decade. That's why we should care.
Ahh feck. Would Chelsea go after Sancho is CHO is sold?
Bloody hell! I thought that was about Cavani's wages until I read it all.
Probably signing him last few days of the transfer window to save a few million. I'm not sure what to make of the signing. Very neutral.
If they did, this place would explode.
If they got him for that price we would.
70m option to buy 
You think he's been on the list all along then?
I certainly don't. We renewed Igahlo's loan for no reason then. Could have just signed Cavani and sent him back to China.
This screams panic signing because other deals have failed.
Neutral is a good word. He is an upgrade on Igahlo and a better plan B. But Cavani is not going to look great if we don't get a RWer that can set him up.
Agree with that.
I like Cavani and don't care about his wages. We need someone to score from a cross once in a while, think he will do well and a damn sight better than Ighalo.
Still an absolute shit show of a window.

There they go again. Made their Havertz money back. If only we were half as good as this in the transfer market.
He will be here for basically a year and a half. Signing him would not impact our "ability" to get Sancho now or next summer at all.
Cause negativity is in vogue innit.
Yeh thats what they are selling him for to fund Sancho.
2 years deal ? A bit too much but if he wants to come here it'll be interesting to see if he'll be happy being a bench option. Let's see. Very interesting transfer.
But ultimately will be much better than anything Ighalo will do.
