Edinson Cavani
Edinson Cavani is aiming to challenge for the Premier League title with Manchester United after joining the club on a free transfer. Cavani wants United to challenge for the league title again but also remain competitive in their other competitions.
Edinson Cavani said. “I think any player who is competitive by nature always wants to be able to win silverware. You always work hard so you can give the best account of yourself, and based on performing at your best, you can get the right results. Then, when you’ve picked up the right results, you can go on to win trophies and achieve big things. I’ve just joined one of the biggest clubs in the world and I think that one of the first objectives it has, as a club, is to win and be champions. For that, you have to work really hard. Like I was saying, we will work hard, and we’ll give our very best so that game by game, we can gradually realise what we can achieve, and where we can get to. I believe that you can’t help but think that a club like Manchester United can aspire to win the title. Starting with the Premier League, and then moving on to other trophies. That’s what I would like to achieve with this club, win trophies, win titles, and then to be able to make the same impression here that I’ve always tried to make with every club I’ve played at. I think I’m probably just missing that contact with my team-mates, and getting up to speed with, say, small-sided drills on the training ground and the intensity of a game itself. But that’s what we’re here for, to work hard, and we’re trying to do our level best so that from the moment I start training with my team-mates, I can get up to speed in as short a period as possible and be competing straight away and giving my best for the group.”
Edinson Cavani signed a one-year-deal at Old Trafford, with the option of a further 12 months, and brings a wealth of experience with him to the Premier League. He had lifted six Ligue 1 titles during his time with Paris Saint-Germain on his way to become the club’s record goalscorer. He also lifted the Copa America trophy with Uruguay in 2011. United finished third in the Premier League last season, finishing 33 points behind eventual winners Liverpool.
