‘Cavani could be a slow burner for Manchester United’ – Berbatov expects experienced striker to make an impact

Edinson Cavani will either “hit the ground running” or be a “slow burner” for Manchester United, says Dimitar Berbatov, with a Red Devils striker of the past looking forward to seeing one from the present make an “impact” at Old Trafford.

Some have questioned whether the experienced Uruguayan, at 33, is capable of making the impression that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer requires.

With United having stumbled out of the blocks in 2020-21, inspiration is required. Cavani was one of the late deals pushed through by United, with the South American snapped up as a free agent after severing ties with Paris Saint-Germain.
