I was underwhelmed by this but you lot have made me get behind him now and I hope he's a huge success and the fans sing "Edison Cavani's army! Edison Cavani's army!"

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Underrated postWhat if he’s given the number 7 tomorrow

As they should. Your own Chief Exec is trolling you. That's how stupid he thinks you are.
so true. I love some of our fans
Stop talking sense, it won’t go down well.
I think they want us to actually go into a season with just the slightest semblance of a chance of competing for a major trophy whilst playing consistently entertaining football. It’s just a guess though.
rubbish post.
A very good player in his peak. But why are we signing a 33 year old on 2 year contract? Would have loved signing him 6 years ago...
How does this fit into the rebuilding project? Is this a panic buy?
Probably cavani is happy he finally found someone willing to pay his 200k wages.
I hope i am wrong and this doesnt turn out to be another sanchez

You have to be one of the best trolls around, there is no way you are serious.Can we have a poll? I actually want to know how many people think this is a good idea
entitled and childish really are the key words here.
How long is it going to be until he's even ready to play? He can't be close to being match fit given he's not had a club.
Does he even speak English?
Are the injuries not a huge concern?
So many questions and so many issues. Panic stations doesn't even begin to describe what this mess is.

You’re being silly now
Who do you support?
How many teams in the league would he start for?
Mate, I agree with you completely.
The people on this forum who seem to be happy about this deal don't realise all the points you have just made.
Because we wanted a backup striker in August for the EL?
I'm sure Everton fans were in disbelief when they got Rooney back. He was incredibly successful there as well.
Yes I feel entitled to have my football club not run by vulture capitalists. So childish of me.
Based on what?
Cavani is OK as a replacement for Ighalo, if the wages and agent fees are reasonable. However no Sancho and the window's a failure, even with van de Beek who I really like and if we do manage to get Telles over the line.
He'd probably start for the lower half of the table. So roughly 10 teams, I'd say.
Dunno why everyone is worried. Even if it doesn't work out, Conte will take him off our hands next summer.
Erm, his prolific goalscoring record throughout his career...
the reaction to this signing is astonishingly entitled.
Like that guy, who cover United news I quoted before?
On this forum, the French residents, the French football following posters, I don't see anyone are that optimistic compared to when Zlatan signing.
You only have people are lapping up these new self claimed French football following journalists, without and evidence for their claims.
Typical Woodward signing this; a name. I really thought we was moving on from these type of players, paying high wages for players on their way down. Sigh!
Ed thinks you are stupid. Please prove him wrong.
You're the expert or so you make it seem, you tell me.
If starting for half the teams in the league means he is better than most forwards in the league, then maybe you are right.
Cool story bro.
Glad you agree.
I am not a big fan of this signing. I think that Cavani is too old, too injury prone and will be paid far too much for us to be even bother. However in terms of experience that's BS. The guy played with Napoli and with PSG alongside guys like Mbappe, Neymar and Hamsik. He worked under two of the most demanding people in football ie Al Thanis and De Laurentiis, the latter is a meaner version of Levi ie meaner in the terms of comparing Gattuso to Vinnie Jones type of being mean. He'll certainly doesn't lack experience to play for us
What SA tend to lack with a club like United is someone who understand their culture and who helps them to settle down. I come from a sunny country myself and I confess I struggled big time to adapt to my first winter in the UK. Its hard to spend weeks if not months not seeing the sun. Having a colleague or mates from your own country would help
Huh? Ighalo was always a stop gap signing, and that's fair enough.
But the point of a stop gap signing is surely to buy yourself time to get a long term solution that fits with your overall strategy... signing Cavani 2 days out isnt doing that, its another, albeit hopefully better, stop gap signing.
Oooooohhh excited about this one
1 + 1
We have a young squad that needs experienced players to guide them. That is how you rebuild, but getting talent and surrounding them with class professionals to learn from- not that the likes of Cavani, Matic, Mata etc. are just there to pick up wages and not contribute on the pitch obviously.
We have a squad that lacks experienced pros. Too many 18-25yos, and not enough 28+yos.
May start for Arsenal. Only top 10 club i think he could start for. Well, Sheffield United too.
What does that even mean? Entitled to want my club to not sign bad players so Glazers can leech an extra few million and scrape fourth if we're lucky?
Wasn't Rooney shipped out after 1 season? I don't think he was particularly good for Everton, which is why they got rid of him so quickly.
Obviously forgetting we already have a long term striker in the team, and the other striker we like is available only next summer
You must be a huge Cavani fanboy, never seen one before, to be honest.
