wish he was few years younger to get more out of him
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Funnily Enough, Until he joined us last summer, We were linked with him, as far as back as 2013.

Where does he rate among other ageing/ex superstars?

Zlatan
Falcao
Schweinsteiger
Larsson
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wasn’t Falcao 28 when he joined?

He also returned from a career threatening injury as well.

I'm guessing the ranking would be something like:

Zlatan
Cavani
Larsson
Schweinsteiger
Falcao
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I think that's fair. Only real question is over the ordering of the top 2. But Zlatan did have a great first season
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Surely Zlatan comes first at the moment? He scored like 30 goals in his first season and scored in a cup final. Don't think Cavani can surpass that on the strength of what he's done just yet.

Agreed but I think Zlatan as good as he was individually was often detrimental to the team.

Perhaps, but he still did what he came in to do and did it successfully. And he was 1 year older than Cavani I think.

Zlatan did a great job for the team.
Cavani is nowhere near Zlatan's achievements at OT.
Hope he gets close.

Yeah you’re right. We signed him a bit late into the season as well. Imagine he was up and running in the opening match vs Palace

Cavani is just two short of matching the 17 goals fellow Uruguayan Diego Forlan scored in three seasons at United.
