Edinson Cavani makes a personal request to Man Utd supporters following Cristiano Ronaldo arrival
Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani has proposed that he would like the club’s fans to continue singing his old song from now on, admitting that his new chant is difficult to follow.
The Uruguayan midfielder’s previous song was changed soon before the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, who rejoined the club on deadline day.
The mercurial 36-year-old signed a two-year contract with the option of a third before making a splash on his second debut against Newcastle United.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner took the No 7 shirt from Cavani upon his arrival at Old Trafford, with United supporters set to alter the latter’s song as a result.
His previous chant was sung to the tune of Abba’s Gimme Gimme Gimme, with the lyrics as follows: “Give it, give it, give it to Edi Cavani, pass him the ball and watch him score all the goals!”
Meanwhile, Cavani’s new chant includes a reference to the veteran forward’s old No 7 shirt number, which has since been changed to 21.

When questioned on which song he prefers by MUTV, Cavani suggested at a preference for the original arrangement, admitting that he is not as keen on his new one.
“The fans have now come up with a second song, which is a lot more difficult to sing than the previous one,” said the 34-year-old.
“I could follow the first one: ‘Give it, give it, give it to Edi Cavani…’. It was easier to follow, and I could sing along to it in places!
“This second one, which is also really cool and really good too, and right here let me take a moment to thank all the United fans for their warmth and affection, this second song is much more difficult to sing!”
The words of Cavani’s new chant will need to be twitched slightly due to the arrival of Ronaldo, who lately thanked his new team-mate for handing over the iconic No 7 shirt.
Cavani missed United’s win over Newcastle on Saturday after suffering a muscle injury in their behind-closed-doors friendly with Stoke City during the international break.
His debut season at Old Trafford was damaged by a number of injury problems, with the striker declaring himself unfit for certain matches in February and March even though the club’s medical department had acquitted him to play.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Young Boys in the Champions League group stages that Cavani will remain sidelined for the fixture as he continues to step up his recovery.
“Edi is hopefully back with us soon,,” the United boss told reporters on Monday.
“He had a slight strain in the international week after the in-house game, he’s working hard to get back.”
