Edinson Cavani: 'I understand perfectly well what these games | Manchester United Empire

Edinson Cavani: "I understand perfectly well what these games mean, and I feel just how significant a derby is for a club and its fan-base."

"I think there are some games that are really special, because of all the history behind them and the rivalry that exists with the other club."

"They [derbies] are the kind of games that I think everyone, including me at least, wants to be involved in, because they are very special occasions. Games that remain part of history and stay in everyone’s memory.”

"I have one or two memories of other derbies I’ve played in, such as Paris-Marseille, where I’ve been fortunate enough to get on the scoresheet. You can feel the joy you experience and the passion you feel the moment you score."

"[In Manchester], last season you’d see the odd fan who’d let you know that the derby game was coming up. But they’ve also spoken to me about how much the Liverpool game means to them too."

"I think it’s also one of those games that’s talked about an awful lot and where you can feel it yourself, just exactly what it means. That derby shares that same feeling, a special game that the fans really want to win.”

message to #mufc fans: "Have faith in their team and have faith in the players who, without a doubt, will be trying hard to perform well and to keep growing and improving so that the faith that they’ve shown us."

"We might be able to, as they say, pay it back with good results, hard work and by winning stuff."

"I’d just like to send best wishes to all the #mufc fans and it really is a pleasure for me to be here at their club.”
