Manchester United’s new recruit Edinson Cavani says he is relishing the challenge of playing in the Premier League and is confident he can handle the pressure of wearing the club’s iconic No 7 jersey.
Cavani, who left Ligue 1 champion Paris Saint Germain after his contract expired last season, joined United on a free transfer, penning a one-year deal with an option to extend for a further 12 months.
He will sport the No 7 jersey previously worn by United greats George Best, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cavani scored 200 goals in 301 appearances for PSG and departed the French champion as their all-time leading goal scorer.
The Uruguayan hopes to have similar success in England.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, who are 16th in the standing, face Newcastle United next Saturday when they return to action after the international break.
