Edinson Cavani's arrival at Manchester United is a shock in England, where much is expected of the Uruguayan despite him being 33. For the moment he has only had half an hour of play against Chelsea, but he had promising actions.
For Michael Owen, a commentator in the English press and Ballon d'Or winner in 2001, the former PSG player's arrival at United is great news. In the words of the 'Manchester Evening News', the former striker said that Cavani is one of his weaknesses.
"We only saw a brief appearance, but I watched him for years. I always thought he was one of the best players in the movement game. I think he's going to score a few goals," said the former Liverpool and United striker.
The key to Owen's success is the way he moves around the pitch: "I love the movement of this player, he's my kind of striker. As long as United put pressure on their opponents, balls will come into their box.
One of Cavani's great qualities is that he knows how to choose where to move: "I've always said that being close to the first post is much better than being at the second post, because the ball doesn't usually get there.
