LONDON: When Manchester United signed Edinson Cavani on deadline day in October the move was seen as a sign of desperation but, six months on, the transfer has paid off handsomely with the club in a position to finish among the top two in the Premier League.
"Injustice never wins," Cavani said as the victory sealed United's ninth comeback win in the league this season, sparked by his excellent performance that helped ensure United remain unbeaten away from home and seven points above third spot. But what Cavani has lacked in pure numbers, he has made up for with goals in key moments. He has scored seven league goals, of which five have either given United the lead or equalised.Cavani offers United a different dimension in attack, a threat Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has failed to elicit from deploying Anthony Martial or Marcus Rashford as number nines.
Five headed goals are testament to that but Cavani has also helped link up play while his defensive grit is on display when he torments and chases down centre backs and midfielders on the ball.All has not been rosy for Cavani in England, however, with a social media faux pas handing him a three-game ban and the clash of cultures has reportedly made him think twice about extending his stay at Old Trafford beyond this season.
