Cavani replaces farm life with "Old Trafford" lights.

After a career during which he made history as the best goal scorer over Paris Saint-Germain, and a successful international career in which he scored 50 goals in his country's jersey, one of the Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani will not blame him if he decided to stay on his farm that he sought refuge in in his home during the hiatus imposed by the outbreak of the "Covid-virus-" 19 ".

But the 33-year-old decided to replace the farm life with the lights of "Old Trafford" by signing Manchester United for two years for 210 thousand pounds a week on the last day of the summer transfer period, looking for a new adventure that forgot the disappointment of his recent period of marginalization in Saint-Germain despite his goals. Two hundred jerseys of the Parisian club.

And after he missed the first match of his new team on Saturday against Newcastle (4-1) in the Premier League as a result of entering compulsory self-isolation for a period of 14 days after his arrival in England, Cavani is expected to be among the team that will compete in the first match in the Champions League that brings together "the devils." The Reds "in Saint Germain, in particular, on Tuesday in Paris, within the Group H competitions, which include German Leipzig and Istanbul, Turkey's Basaksehir.

Cavani talked about his trip to Paris in order to confront the team that had defended its colors since 2013 and crowned the league title six times, the cup four times and the League Cup six times, saying, "I will experience an exceptional moment anyone did not expect it will happen," adding to French television, "TF1" It would be "unbelievable, nice feelings."

And it was not the end of the Uruguayan career with the capital club, Latifa, as he decided to leave the team in June after the decision was made to permanently cancel the league due to the repercussions of the "Covid-19" virus. The final before losing to the Bavarian giants Bayern Munich.

Since he is too old for a striker, and has not played a match since Saint Germain's Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund in March, some United fans considered that hiring the Uruguayan in the last moments before the summer transfer window closed is a misplaced compensation step after the administration's failure in The young English international included Jadeon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund

Cavani has spent the past few months shearing sheep in his home country in addition to taking lessons in his other hobby - ballet.

He even appeared in an advertisement for a dance school in Montevideo.

Cavani could easily have taken the decision to retire and enjoy his quiet life away from football, but his love for the game is strong enough to convince him to accept a new challenge with United regardless of what the critics say.

The Uruguayan revealed, "I had many different opportunities. I was excited to play in the Premier League and more for Manchester United," stressing, "I am very excited because I always want to play as much as possible, work, train, and give my best."

Formidable player

Cavani and his girlfriend were infected with the new Corona virus more than a month ago after a vacation in Ibiza, Spain, but he recovered and was ready to add his experience and goal instinct to a young team in need of guidance.

While their 4-1 victory over Newcastle indicates that United already has enough offensive talent, the truth is different because Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Welshman Daniel James are still young and lack consistency between one match and the next.

Rashford hopes that Cavani will repeat the impact that Swedish Zlatan Ibrahimovic left when he joined United in 2016 as a free agent, after his contract with Saint Germain in particular ended.

Ibrahimovic, who was also in his thirties during his time at "Old Trafford", scored four goals in his first five matches with the "Red Devils" shirt, and ended the season with 28 goals, to ease the charismatic presence of his teammates.

"As a forward line, this is something we are looking forward to. I hope he comes and scores goals, because he can definitely help us win matches and points. He can be a formidable player for us this season," Rashford told Britain's Sky Sports.

He believed that "to win two or three titles in one season, you need a team. This is not possible if you do not have people who can score goals every week."

"During my growing up, United always had four or five attackers who could score goals at any time. The closer we got to that (reaching what the team was offensively like), the more powerful we got."
