Edinson Cavani is Paris Saint-Germain’s most sensible goalscorer and now looks ready to wear a Manchester United blouse in the Premier League. (More football news)
The Uruguayan spent seven years at Parc des Princes, scoring two hundred goals before being released at the end of the 2019–20 season.
At the time of his release, Cavani had a small PSG player, and knowledge suggested he had a minor threat.
Here’s a look at how the guy known as “The Matador” would possibly have lost some of his killer instincts when United looked to get him up to his attacking stable.
Cavani is no longer a “very lucky” predator?
In seven openings and seven appearances as a replacement last season in Ligue 1, Cavani has had 20 purpose opportunities through Opta as “great opportunities”.
Worryingly, she scored four, with her 16 big occasions, missed the biggest moment of the general of all players in the French elite.
Teammate Kylian Mbappé would probably have been the most sensible on the list, but Mbappé’s 18 goals countered the negative effect of his 19 great missed opportunities.
Of all the players with 4 or more goals in Ligue 1, 3 had a conversion rate of great odds worse than 20% of Cavani – Morgan Sanson of Marseille (11% – scored one, failed eight), Pablo Sarabia of the PSG (16. 67%) . – scored one, missed five) and Gaetan Charbonnier de Brest (14. 29% – scored one, failed six).
It wasn’t like that.
Possibly, Cavani would have had a failed season from which he could leave. Being on and off the team, with its dubious future, may also have clouded your thinking on and off the field.
It is true that his long-term record at the PSG is impeccable.
During the 2018-19 season, its high probability conversion rate was 60. 71% (17 scored, 11 lost), and in the last 3 campaigns it had been 44. 44% (2015-16), 45. 71% (2016) . 51. 16% (2017-2018).
In each of these campaigns he was a much more consistent headline, but the presence of Neymar, Mbappé and Mauro Icardi pushed Cavani towards the margins, resulting in his departure and sudden availability as a loose agent.
Didn’t United strikers check their luck?
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer obviously believes Cavani can be a tough spearhead on a team that lacks a classic predator in the penalty area.
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial were United’s most sensitive scorers last season with 17 Premier League goals each, and both had practical records for great opportunities.
England’s foreigner Rashford scored 16 goals and missed thirteen of the only chances for a 55. 17% good fortune rate, according to Opta, while French striker Martial scored nine and missed 10.
Cavani can become an upgrade to Odion Ighalo, who failed to score in his 11 Premier League appearances last season, all from the bench, and missed his 4 big chances.
If it can be more than that and rediscover the way he was so feared for much of his PSG career, it depends on Cavani’s ability to show his last season in Paris as a failure.
Like Luis Suárez, his long-time Uruguayan attacking spouse, Cavani finds hes hees at a professional crossroads: at 33, he suddenly discovers for a fresh start.
Atletico Madrid and Suarez look at it as a practical fit, and United will have to hope that they and Cavani will also be well matched. Reputations would possibly have gifts like this.
