Edinson Cavani’s farewell to Manchester United: applause on the pitch, insults on the outside and his uncertain future

In the last hours, Manchester United have made the departure of Edinson Cavani from the club official and there are already several teams in South America that are excited to get him. The Uruguayan striker had his last game in defeat against Crystal Palace (1-0) as a guest, saying goodbye to the applause of Red Devils fans who arrived at Selhurst Park Stadium.

However, paradoxically, When the squad returned to the bus, the 35-year-old attacker had a strong crossroads with a group of fans. That is, failed with bad results and closed a season not as represented by the club, angry fans approached and insulted the players.

In the midst of that climate, Cavani reacted by making a “fuck you” gesture with his middle finger and the video of the situation quickly went viral on social networks. Surprisingly, just minutes before and despite the team’s loss, the Matador was cheered on the playing field and it seemed his “goodbye” would be in full harmony with English fans.

The former Paris Saint-Germain, who has scored 19 goals in 59 games for United, ended his contract with the institution on 30 June. Without the minutes expected with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo and after a period of ongoing injury, charrúa will end his stay with the Red Devils and already has several suitors, including some from South America.

Emerging from Danubio, where he had his first and only experience in South American football, it may be the right time for Cavani to return. With Boca and Botafogo as two of the interested parties, it was the Uruguayan striker himself who referred to the possibility of returning a few weeks ago.

Cavani and the possible return to Suda

Speaking to ESPN Brasil’s Bola da Vez program, the Uruguayan soccer player announced: “Of course there are always possibilities (of going back to South America), because you’re starting to grow and also looking for something else that makes you happy. There are other things in football and in life that help you feel.”

“It’s also not a distant future, it can happen because I don’t underestimate any football, especially now when you work hard. Soccer is very equal. If you look at the Club World Cup final between Palmeiras and Chelsea, it was an equal and competitive game. So I don’t underestimate any football, I have a passion for football in general, not for just one league“, He added.

Cavani, 35, has already worn the shirts of Danubio, Palermo, Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, in addition to the colors of the Uruguay national team. So, when his contract in England ended and he moved to a new club, This will be the sixth team on which he continues to develop his career, which he does not limit in relation to the area where he should play.

“Football is so good … I live the same way wherever I play. I’m not one of those people who says this league is better, or else winning a title in that area; yes it can be more competitive, but I live in soccer the same way whether I am on the Uruguayan national team or on any team ”, continued Matador.

And he ended with words that inspired more than one fan of Boca, Botafogo and other interested South Americans: “When I have to watch a Libertadores game or a South American classic on television, I become goosebumps, I love to watch it. I imagine and think ‘see if one day I need to be there and play’. And I’m sure I’ll feel the same way I felt at Manchester United, PSG or Napoli. I live in football like this … “.
