Edinson Cavani: I always tried my best at Man Utd

Edinson Cavani has said a farewell to Manchester United fans.

Cavani has insisted he will leave Manchester United with happy memories despite the club's dismal campaign and his own injury-hit season as he confirmed his Old Trafford exit.

"I sincerely have nothing but words of gratitude towards the fans and supporters of Manchester United," Cavani said.

"Honestly, they have shown me a lot of respect from the very first moment I arrived. I think they've greatly recognised all the hard work I've always tried to put in in the best way possible, giving my best for this team.

"I really am very grateful, and I'll be leaving here with a happy memory of that affection they showed me and always displayed.'

"I wanted to contribute more this season. One of the things that has left me with a slightly bitter taste is that when we had a highly enjoyable and pretty decent [2020/21] season, we weren't able to have the supporters along with us.

"And now, this season, with the fans coming back into the grounds and stadiums, I haven't really been able to have the kind of campaign, if I'm being honest, on a personal front that I would really have liked."
