In his first season at Old Trafford, Cavani helped Manchester United advance to the 2020-2021 UEFA Europa League Final. Unfortunately, they failed to get the job done as they lost 11-10 on penalties. Cavani, however, was included in the UEFA Europa League Squad of the Season for his stellar play with the Red Devils.
With the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo for the 2021-2022 season, Cavani allowed him to have the No. 7 shirt and he changed to No. 21. Many are excited to have the duo of Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo in front of the Manchester United offense.
