Comparing Edinson Cavani’s Man Utd record to Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, Martial…

Manchester United haven’t always had the best record when it comes to recruiting goalscorers, especially since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013. 

But Edinson Cavani has done well in his debut season in English football, in spite of injuries. Given he’s stepped up with some important goals for United, it’s no surprise that there’s a clamour among the fans for Cavani to stay.

We’ve compared his stats in all competitions to the other strikers United have signed in the last eight years.
