DBasia.news – Former Manchester United striker, Dimitar Berbatov praised the Red Devils’ move in bringing in former Paris Saint Germain striker, Edinson Cavani. Berbatov believes, Cavani will score many goals at Man United.
Manchester United brought Edinson Cavani on a free transfer. Reportedly, the player from Uruguay received a wage of 10 million euros per season.
Many sneered at the transfer made by Manchester United. As Cavani is no longer at his golden age. In addition, the former Napoli also frequently went in and out of the treatment room.
However, Berbatov has a different view. He took the example of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrik Larsson who had a big impact on Man United.
“I am a huge fan of Cavani because he can score a lot of goals for the team. He is also very experienced so that will provide many benefits,” explained Berbatov to Betfair.
“Cavani can have the same impact as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrik Larsson who joined Manchester United when they are older. He can bring a lot of help to Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood.”
“He certainly didn’t talk much with Solskjaer before joining Manchester United. He may not be able to play every game, but I don’t think he will be sitting on the bench for long,” said Berbatov.
Berbatov felt that Manchester United made the right purchase when they decided to sign Edinson Cavani. The reason is, because The Red Devils really needed a new attacker.
“Some people said that Cavani was a panic buy. However, looking at the transfer rumors, Man United does need an attacker.”
“The transfer of Jadon Sancho didn’t happen. So they signed Cavani and he could score goals. The most interesting thing is how Cavani has an impact on young players and also Odion Ighalo.”
Edinson Cavani chose Manchester United’s sacred jersey number, 7. Previously, the number was owned by Alexis Sanchez.
