Soccer-Departing Cavani wanted more goals with United fans in the stands

(Reuters) - Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani regrets leaving Manchester United without being able to repeat his scoring form from his debut campaign during his second season in front of full crowds.

Cavani signed for United from Paris Saint-Germain in October 2020 and made a big impact in his first term at Old Trafford, scoring 17 goals in all competitions.

A series of injuries have limited Cavani to two goals in 20 matches this season with capacity crowds back in stadiums after the restrictions introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I wanted to contribute more this season," ," Cavani, whose contract expires in June, said in an interview on the club website, said.

"One of the things that has left me with a slightly bitter taste is that when we had a highly enjoyable and pretty decent (2020-2021) season, we weren't able to have the supporters along with us.
