It might be recency bias, but I think Cavani's diving header is the most beautiful thing in the world. Lets see more of them! (and find me a better picture of this one)
Cavani's diving header

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
It was really difficult as well. The cross was a thing of a beauty but there was still a lot to do for Cavani. Perfect timing and placement
What a header my man. This entire second goal was just a joy to watch. Brilliant cross and an unstoppable header.
Cavani might have been poor recently but this game showed that he's an absolute beast when on form.

Thought he fecked it. Looked kind of behind him but that was down to pessimism
This was exactly what I hoped Cavani would add to the team. Diving headers and his awesome moves towards the first post.
Stuff like this is why footballers are like superheroes to kids.
Unironically great defending.
One of the simple joys of football is a quality diving header.
Good one scored by Ronaldo for us against Spurs dramatically a few years back.

Always love a diving header. They are very rare goals.
It was. I think it was against Arsenal, it was a guaranteed goal if he didn’t get a touch.
The diving header, an absolute thing of beauty. So rare to see nowadays.
They are the Unicorn of finishes.

The way he attacked that ball was brilliant, reminded me of Ronaldo. The cross was almost as good though, Greenwood hitting it first time as if it was the easiest thing in the world.
Same goal he scored against Southampton and the one Mason got v Brighton
Sexual goal. If we lose Cavani our main priority should be a new CF.
We see today how badly we need one and the difference it makes to our game.

The barnet flopping about adds to the beauty.
A thing of beauty, love his technique. One of the few that still give it a try and know how to do it. Posted something a while back about how it's become a thing of the past, but good to see there are still quality ones out there.
Was a great header.
Dwight Yorke out of ten.
Hope he stays, he needs to score one of those in front of the fans.
Yeah such a shame as that was where the united fans would've been in that corner.
The scenes would've been beautiful. I miss seeing the away limbs.
Not even his best diving header of the season.
Cavani lives for diving headers. I think if he can score a few more goals by the end of the season he'd feel just that little bit more happy here.
That 2nd goal was sexual from start to finish.
Soon as Greenwood hit the cross you knew Cavani was scoring
The entire sequence was a thing of beauty, from Bruno megging Reguilon, to Greenwood quickly looking up and putting a perfect cross, to the brilliant anticipation and the execution of the header from Cavani.
His second against Southampton was better but Greenwood’s cross was unbelievable
<3
Any excuse to post this beauty
Really hope my boy Cavani stays, one hell of a player still when the team plays to his strengths. He deserves to play at a packed OT, he'll absolutely love it, and they'll love him.
Such a cool dude! Ole sign him up!
Beautiful goal.
Another South American that scored some memorable diving headers for us was Tevez. His first league goal vs Chelsea and I remember a beautiful one for us in the Champions League as well.
It's the long dark hair that makes it that bit more aesthetically pleasing
