According to the British "Daily Mirror" revealed, Uruguayan striker Cavani intends to stage the "last dance" at Manchester United and the World Cup, and then hang up his boots and retire next year. Of course, due to the special date of the Qatar World Cup, which will be held from November 21, 2022 to the end of December 18, 2022, he cannot retire immediately after the end of the new season. Ahead of the World Cup, Cavani will need to play for a few more months in order to stay in shape. But he will be determined to return to South America and will not remain with the Red Devils, so this is sure to be his last year at Old Trafford.
Last season, Cavani scored 17 goals for Manchester United and contributed to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's runner-up in the Premier League and League Cup. He had planned to return to South America this summer, but United persuaded him to renew his contract for a year, trying to say goodbye to Europe with a better record and a weekly salary of £250,000.
In fact, long before joining Manchester United, Cavani, who was infected with the new crown, considered hanging up his boots. After being released from his contract by Paris Saint-Germain, he went on holiday to Ibiza with his former teammates Neymar, Di Maria and Icardi, but unfortunately contracted an illness. Cavani, 34, admitted: "At that time I was thinking about retiring, going back to Uruguay and living in the countryside, rather than traveling and playing football everywhere."
But something inside told him that he had unfinished business. After United sent out the contract, Cavani did not hesitate to accept it. The one-year extension to the contract is due to the hope of playing at Old Trafford, which is full of 78,000 people.
Now, Cavani has revealed that his plan is to hang up his boots after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, when he was born on Valentine's Day in 1987 and will turn 36.
For his final career plan, Cavani quoted basketball flyer Jordan's documentary "The Last Dance", in which he detailed: "In football, my dream is to represent Uruguay in the Qatar World Cup. I will spend more time with my family, my friends, and do my own thing. We now have the last dance."
Edmund Cavani, who competed in this summer's Copa America, was subsequently given extra breaks and he will only resume training this week. But Cardazzo built a gym in his home in his hometown of Salto so he could stay in top shape at all times.
In addition, Cavani was vaccinated against COVID-19 when he returned to Uruguay at the end of May, hoping to better ensure his health and avoid re-infection.
Manchester United assistant coach Mike Ferran said: "What we want from Edinson (Edinson) is his experience, determination and winning mentality. It was easy to get him on board, and what we said to him was, 'Do you want to make another impact?' Do you really want to take on the challenge again?' He's fantastic, Edinson doesn't speak the best English, but he speaks football."
Cavani's decision to play for Manchester United for another season means Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can safely wait another year before fighting for Dortmund striker Errin Haaland.
