Manchester United star sends emotional message to Edinson Cavani
Former Manchester United star, Edinson Cavani has decided to hang up his boots. The 37-year-old has announced his retirement from football and it’s safe to say that the game is losing a legend.
Facundo Pellistri seems to agree with the legend part as he sent out an emotional message to Cavani via Instagram. The 22-year-old wrote “Gracias por todo Leyenda” as he posted a picture of the Uruguayan on his story.
Pellistri’s message to Cavani directly translates to, “Thanks for everything Legend”. The 37-year-old has surely done enough to solidify has status as a legend in the eyes of many fan bases across Europe.
Cavani’s time at Manchester United was not as successful as the two would’ve liked. However, he still had a stellar career scoring 383 goals and recording 73 assists over the course of 682 games.
During his time at the top, the Uruguayan won a plethora of titles. Including individual and team trophies Cavani has a total of 34 trophies to decorate his cabinet. Only thing missing from the 37-year-old’s impressive resume is a UCL trophy.
However, Cavani has even seen international glory winning the Copa America with Uruguay back in 2011. It’s safe to say that the 37-year-old won’t be leaving the pitch with many regrets. Another legend of the game is hanging up his boots.
