The Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani was offered last summer to Real Madrid, after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain finally ended. Florentino Pérez had the great opportunity to take home a world-class forward with impressive experience in the football elite at a cost of zero. A possibility that looked not at all bad, since it would have been Karim Benzema's luxury change, and occupy the gap that Luka Jovic and Mariano Díaz have not been able to.

But the coach Zidane stopped the operation due to the high price of Cavani and his representative asked, so Zidane gave a vote of confidence to Jovic and Mariano, who were expected to take advantage of it, something that has not happened yet, especially, by the former Estrella Roja and Benfica. Thus, the 33-year-old Uruguayan veteran made his way to the Premier League.

Specifically, Manchester United, who received him well, and repeated the experiment they used with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, that was to have a strong forward. Although it was difficult for Cavani to enter the dynamics of the team, holding the in the bench for more than half a season without playing a single official game, in the end it has paid off, since he won the trust of the manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, and now he is the undisputed starter.

Four goals and two assists in 13 games Cavani has, finally Manchester United has a natural center forward. Cavani is very good at opening spaces, to allow Marcus Rashford como and go, apart from generating many dangerous occasions. Without a doubt for many it was the best contract of the year for Manchester United and Real Madrid could have him for three.
