Manchester United’s decision to snap up Edinson Cavani was “very strange”, says Paul Scholes, with the Red Devils legend suggesting that the 33-year-old striker should have been a two-month loan signing rather than a permanent addition.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer moved to snap up the experienced Uruguayan on transfer deadline day – handing him an iconic No.7 shirt in the process.
Cavani had been in the free agent pool since severing ties with Paris Saint-Germain in July, with United eventually putting terms to him as they scrambled around to get bodies on board.
