​Man Utd hero Keane: Cavani has proven doubters wrong

Manchester United legend Roy Keane admits that Uruguayan star Edinson Cavani has proved him wrong.

Keane, along with many United supporters, was concerned about the impact a veteran could make in the Premier League.

Cavani, 33, was a free transfer signing from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

He created a goal and scored twice to help United to a come from behind 3-2 victory at Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday.

Keane said on television: "It was always a gamble when he came to club.

"People were doubting did he have the hunger and desire. We've seen proof of it today.

"He could prove a huge signing for Manchester United."
