'Cavani smells the goal' - Fernandes not surprised by Man Utd striker's immediate impact

Bruno Fernandes says he's not been surprised by Edinson Cavani's immediate impact at Manchester United, with the striker considered to be the kind of player that "smells the goal".

United brought in a man who had scored 341 goals in 556 matches across his club career on a free transfer in October, beating the likes of Atletico Madrid and Benfica to his signature.

Cavani scored 200 of those goals at Paris Saint-Germain, becoming their all-time top scorer in the process, but he left the French champions at the end of his contract in June.
