Edinson Cavani has expressed his gratitude to the Manchester United supporters who he says showed him lots of respect from his first day at Old Trafford.

According to Manchester United, Cavani says not being able to score enough goals in his second season with the Red Devils is one of his biggest regrets at Old Trafford.

“I haven’t really been able to have the kind of campaign, if I’m being honest, on a personal front that I would really have liked.
“Where I would have been able to score the kind of goals I did last season, and then be celebrating them a bit more with the fans - the kind of stuff that it’s great for a forward or a striker to be doing.”

Cavani joined Manchester United in a deadline day transfer in October 2020 and made a notable impact in his debut season.

Cavani labelled a disgrace by Man United icon Paul Scholes

Meanwhile, Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes is still furious at some United players after the Red Devils had another shambolic campaign in the just concluded 2021/22 season.

According to Goal, Scholes had questioned the commitment of the Uruguayan forward and labelled him a disgrace after a poor return of goals from the striker.

Manchester United finished the Premier League season in 6th position with their lowest ever points tally recorded in the league since its inception in 1992.
