They say never meet your heroes, but Manchester United 's Edinson Cavani showed just why such a thing can be a dream come true following their 3-0 victory over Brentford on Monday.
The 35-year-old met super fan Lola Eastwood outside Old Trafford after the match, having appeared as a late substitute during the Red Devils' emphatic win to mark their final home game. In a heartwarming video, Cavani is seen consoling the emotional youngster, who pled for him not to leave the club at the end of the season.
Having only made six Premier League starts over the course of the 2021-22 campaign, the Uruguayan is set to depart when his contract expires in less than two months' time. A cult hero among the United fanbase thanks to his goals and grafting performances last term, Cavani became Lola's idol, and mum Frankie made sure to capture the moment she met him on camera.
