JAKARTA – Edinson Cavani's last appearance for Manchester United had an unpleasant ending. He was noisy with the group of supporters even though it didn't reach physical contact.

This incident occurred after the Premier League's final weekend match against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park Stadium on Sunday, 22 May.

The Uruguay international striker played 90 minutes in that match. However, he could not help his team avoid a 0-1 loss to the home team.

Wilfried Zaha scored the only goal of the game. This defeat was Manchester United's 12th in the Premier League this season.

After the match, Cavani, who along with his teammates were rushing to the bus, had to get a bad reception from the fans waiting on the players' bus. The 35-year-old was caught on camera arguing with them.

At first Cavani was seen just pointing at the group of supporters who were heard shouting at him. However, his anger then peaked so that he raised his middle finger.

The gesture was done three times, including when he was on the steps of the bus. It is not known what caused the quarrel, but he certainly looked disappointed with what he received at this supposedly sweet moment.

In the recording it is not clear who provoked the player who was known to be very low-key that day. Either the Red Devils support group or someone else.

Cavani actually became a big idol of MU fans during his debut campaign together in 2020. At that time he scored 17 goals in 39 appearances.

However, his popularity has waned in recent months after missing a number of games due to injury. In addition, in 20 matches in all competitions this season he also only managed to score two goals.

Apart from Cavani, a number of players will leave United this summer. They are Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba. The players left with the arrival of new coach Erik ten Hag.
