MANCHESTER – After having been linked with young players like Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund) and Ousmane Dembele (Barcelona), Manchester United’s management ended up bringing only an aging player named Edinson Cavani. It is said that he is old because for the size of a footballer, Cavani is no longer young, he is 33 years old.

To get Cavani, Man United management doesn’t need to spend a transfer fee, given the attacker’s nickname. The matador He is not currently linked to any club. The plan is for Man United to hire Cavani for two years for a fee of 10 million euros, or roughly Rp. 174.4 billion per year.

It is true that matters of scoring goals do not call into question Cavani’s acuity at his best. Cavani was recorded as the top scorer in the Italian League 2012-2013, the French League 2016-2017 and 2017-2018.

However, Cavani made it to the Premier League not at a competitive age. Furthermore, South American forwards failed often during their Manchester United career.

Some of the South American players who failed with Man United are Diego Forlán, Ángel Di María, Radamel Falcao and Alexis Sánchez. Forlán, whose passport from Uruguay failed miserably with Man United. During his two and a half years defending Man United, Forlán only scored 17 goals in 98 games in all competitions.

Seeing himself without a future with Manchester United, Forlán moved to Villarreal in the summer of 2004. This is where Forlán’s career took off. He won the European Golden Boot twice in 2004-2005 while defending Villarreal and in 2008-2009 with Atlético de Madrid. In addition, Forlán also won the title of best player at the 2010 World Cup.

Then there was Di María, who was brought in by Manchester United from Real Madrid for € 75 million or the equivalent of IDR 1.3 trillion in the summer of 2014. However, Di María could not pay the high price. Out of 32 appearances in all competitions, Di Maria only scored four goals. As a result, he was released to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) a season later.

Also, in the summer of 2014, Man United borrowed Radamel Falcao from AS Monaco. The Tiger –Falcao’s nickname– comes with the status of one of the best attackers in the world. The test, Falcao was recorded as the top scorer in the European League twice, to be precise in 2010-2011 and 2011-2012.

However, the previous status does not guarantee that Falcao will perform brilliantly with Man United. Out of 29 appearances, Falcao only scored four goals in the 2014-2015 season. As a result, Falcao was not permanent by the Man United administration in the summer of 2014.

And Sánchez? Of 45 games, Sánchez only collected five goals. As a result, Sánchez was loaned out to Inter Milan in the summer of 2019, until he was finally permanent a season later.

That’s why Cavani proved his worth by letting himself be carried away by a club as big as Man United. Cavani must not continue with the bad stamp of the South American striker who failed with Man United.
