Man Utd shown what could have been as forgotten man sets up Edinson Cavani

Edinson Cavani will leave Manchester United this summer once his contract expires after an underwhelming second season at the club.

The Uruguayan penned a contract extension last term but is now free to explore his options after a season that saw minutes hard to come by.
