Manchester United’s new signing Edinson Cavani says he is relishing the challenge of playing in the Premier League and confident he will be able to handle the pressure of wearing the club’s iconic No. 7 jersey.
Cavani, who left PSG after his contract expired last season, joined United on a free transfer, penning a one-year deal with an option to extend for another one year.
He will wear the No. 7 jersey previously worn by United greats George Best, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.
I know that once you’re out on the pitch, the number you have on your shirt has no influence,” the 33-year-old striker told the United website.
“But when you get the chance to pull on the No. 7 shirt at United, it really is a nice responsibility to have. I hope that I can do it great justice and leave it in as high regard as the many great players who have worn it before me.”
Cavani scored 200 goals in 301 appearances for PSG and departed the French champions as their all-time leading goal scorer. The Uruguayan hopes to have similar success in England.
