Edinson Cavani gives middle finger to Man Utd supporter after final match for the club

Departing Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani had an altercation with a supporter after his final match for the club, giving the fan the middle finger as he boarded the team bus.

‘Out of our starting XI, there will be 10,
