He runs around a lot.

He’s at an age where each year will be worse than the last. Each month will be a battle to maintain his level, every injury will take longer to come back from.
Coming to terms with that is probably tough for the player. Confidence ebbs away, frustration creeps in.
I think I agree with posters who are saying he should be used as an impact sub. Gives him a chance when the opposition is tiring.
Given the current shambles at the club and knowing he won’t be here next year, I’d be okay with him leaving now. Was brilliant in spells last year and I like him a lot.

I've said before if you're going with Cavani and Ronaldo for a season then it has to be for guaranteed instant success, if it's not happening then there is no point persisting with them. There's no point stunting the developing of Greenwood, Rashford, Elanga, Sancho for a couple of players that are gone in the summer, we'd be better using both Ronaldo and Cavani sparingly over the second half of the season and letting the others get game time.
I agree. Those two are not the future. They’re barely the present.
If that was Ronaldo who put in the same performance that Cavani has the last few games there would be a lot more Criticism. I don't know the running stats but I don't think Cavani runs more than Ronaldo the last few games.
there was no pressing. Which everyone says Cavani is miles better at but I've yet to see it when Cavani has started games this season. Maybe in cameo super sub roles but that's because it's a combination of he's fresh for 20 minutes to run around like a madman and the opposition players are tired.
Ronaldo has much better movement. Cavani looks like he's walking through quicksand so sluggish.

Nice cameo.
His experience allowed him to go for that assist to rashford instead of shooting himself.

Fantastic assist in the dying seconds of added time.
My phone died watching the stream just as they showed the replay of him being borderline offside. Absolutely horrible minute or two waiting.
He’s class and when he goes we must ensure we replace him adequately. Someone who can come on and have an impact more often than not.

Great ball in. Chuffed for him
Moments like that are what he stayed another year for after empty stadium football. Well done to Ole for convincing him.
Well done Cavani. Brilliant, again, and really saved us in an important moment.
He doesn’t point fingers to blame others but just run to make things happen either offensive or defensive. Well done!
Love his celebrations together with the team for someone who is apparently do not want to be here. What a real team player
Big assist for our season, showed his experience with his movement and awareness to pick Rashford out.
100% not offside for his assist, clear as day on match of the day he was on side.
I kinda love this guy. his enthusiasm for the game is infectious. he celebrates every goal for the team as if each is a world cup final clincher
might end up a cult hero
might end up a cult hero
Even before the assist, he ran back to take a throw in as he knew not to give up hope. Top professional
Innit, feel like a lot of people don’t understand the offside rule.
We always play better when he is on the field, even when he is not at his best. Important player for us, no question about that.
That was the best part! fecking loved it!

Damn, so much passion there. Imagine if we put it all to good use. Rangnick on the right path.
What a scene, saying that everyone loves a 90+ winner
Celebrating like that for an assist. That’s the passion and desire this squad needs drip feeding into them all. Given he’s on his way in a few months and has a had a very successful career, that’s brilliant to still see and should be an example to many others in our squad.
Class footballer,classy guy.Will be missed when he goes on and off the field.Glad he'll be part of this great club's history.
Absolutely. Good that he’ll be remembered fondly. His chant is one of the best too.
he is a beast. At his age and status as a proven player, he still works his arse off every minute of every game. The passion in his celebration today shows what a winner he is
He usually plays well as a sub. So that's where we should use him more.
His mobility helps against tired defense.

great ball by him! he, Ronaldo, martial and of Rashford deserve huge credit for the goal !
I love Cavani. He should have had 5-6 years at United earlier in his career.
So do rashford and martial. If were chasing a game it would be ideal to bring on all three of them, although ronaldo moaning at being subbed might cause problems unless we want to sub the midfield.
Wish we had prime years of Cavani. For all the dumb talk about United "DNA", I feel like Cavani perfectly fits the essence of the character you want at this club.
Who didn't live that? The goal, the celebration. Everything rings true with him and that's hard to get in the modern game.
Sensational stuff by Cavani today. Effort, assist and my dear what emotion he showed. I think this was the day where I joined the Edi Fanclub.
Ronaldo getting subbed or starting is a different issue though.
As for Cavani particularly, his energy are pretty much wasted (ineffective as much as it should) when he starts because we hardly score early these days which makes difficult for players to keep their energy level until the end where we have to keep chasing. My thinking is that he is 35, runs around a lot, then loses composure when vital moments comes in later in the game.
Not his fault though we still need to work on attacking play.
Brilliant to see him celebrate that winner. You can’t fake that passion.
I think I’ve watched his celebration 10 times now. fecking love it
Cavani is impossible to not like. Elite footballers can learn a thing or two from him about aging gracefully.
Funny thing is though apparently on metro according to sportBlid that RR wanted to sell three players who were 'mood killers' and Cavani was one of them due to not accepting RR's training sections at late evening or some shite.
