DBasia.news – Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba salutes the new Red Devils striker, Edinson Cavani. Pogba explained Cavani’s importance to Man United.

Manchester United signed Edinson Cavani for free from Paris Saint-Germain. PSG chose not to renew Cavani’s contract as they had signed Mauro Icardi permanently.

Initially, Man United’s move to bring in Cavani received a lot of criticism. Cavani is considered to have run out and could not provide much for Manchester United.

However, Cavani answered the criticism with a neat appearance. Although he was not always a starter, Cavani made a change when he was played. The 33 year old player scored five goals plus two assists in 17 matches.

This performance amazed Pogba. Pogba thinks Cavani has a different style of play from other Manchester United attackers.

“Everyone knows Edinson Cavani is a quality striker. Only a few strikers like him in the world and we have him now,” said Pogba as quoted by MUTV.

“Cavani scored a difficult goal. We have talented players like Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood. They are able to score goals from outside the penalty area and such.”

“However, they do not have the experience of Cavani. They also do not have the same qualities as Cavani,” added Pogba.

Edinson Cavani’s contract at Manchester United will expire in June 2021. However, Manchester United can extend the former Napoli player’s service for one more season.
