Twitter reacts to Manchester United signing Edinson Cavani

Manchester United have completed the signing of Edinson Cavani on a free transfer on deadline day (October 5). The 33-year-old will join the Red Devils on a one year contract with the option for an additional year.

The Uruguayan is the all-time top scorer for PSG, scoring 200 goals in his seven seasons at Paris. Ole Gunnar Soslkjaer rejected a chance to sign him in January and signed Odion Ighalo instead on a loan for 6-months (which has now been extended to January 2021).

The Uruguay international will be thrown into the deep end when Manchester United restart their campaign against Newcastle on October 17. With Anthony Martial suspended for 3 games, Cavani will be expected to hit the ground running immediately. Solksjaer's men will look to bounce back from the humiliating 6-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham at Old Trafford.

Speaking after signing with the club, Edinson Cavani said -

Manchester United is one of the greatest clubs in the world, so it is a real honour to be here. I’ve worked really hard during the time off and I feel eager to compete and represent this incredible club. have played in front of some of the most passionate supporters in football during my career and I know that it will be the same in Manchester. I cannot wait to experience the Old Trafford atmosphere, when it is safe for the fans to return.

Here are the best Tweets from Edinson Cavani's unveiling as a Manchester United player

Edison Cavani, a South American wonder kid and an Ivorian wonder kid.I recognize a football manager simulation when I see one.

My guy, Cavani has as many premier league goals as Havertz and Werner combined and he hasn't played 1 minute in the premier league, Havertz and Werner have both played about 4 full games

Everyone is talking about Edinson Cavani's age, how he has not played for over 7 months and all that nonsense. How comes no one is talking about Bale? He is equally old and did not get much playtime at R. Madrid.

Edinson Cavani with number 7 doesn't sit right with me, EC7 has no ring to it. Now if he took number 3 that would've been class

Signings- Van de Beek, Alex Telles, Edinson Cavani, Amad Traoré and Facundo Pellistri.This is actually a 3/10 window, If Edinson Cavani scores 15+ goals then it will be 4/10.Facundo Pellistri will need time to adapt to Premier league &he plays well hope proves the doubters wrong
