Edinson Cavani has said that he has been left with a "bitter taste" by his time at Manchester United, as he says goodbye to the club.
The veteran Uruguayan joined United in October 2020 after leaving PSG and enjoyed a fine debut season, scoring 17 goals in all competitions.
But he admitted that having to play almost the entire 2020/21 campaign behind closed doors tainted his Old Trafford experience somewhat. In a parting interview with United's official website, he said:
"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 [United finished second in the Premier League and reached the Europa League final], we weren't able to have the supporters along with us."
Cavani also expressed his sadness at being unable to carry his form from 2020/21 into 2021/22 - which saw him endure a string of injuries and score only twice. He added:
"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."
Despite certain disappointments, though, Cavani will always have the memory of fans being there to witness his most magical moment in a United shirt: that stunning 40-yard lob against Fulham in the penultimate home game of 2020/21.
