Edinson Cavani welcomed fans back to Old Trafford in style with a remarkable goal from distance in Manchester United's clash with Fulham.
Cavani got a particularly loud cheer from those inside the ground ahead of their first chance at seeing the veteran in the flesh. He soon got an even louder one.
The 34-year-old rewarded them with an incredible strike just 15 minutes in.
Bruno Fernandes looked to have got a slight touch on David De Gea’s ball from the back and Cavani clipped a stunning 35-yard effort over Alphonse Areola in front of the Stretford End.
