Former Manchester United defender Paul McGrath is unimpressed by the signing of Edinson Cavani.

Cavani made his debut in Saturday's draw with Chelsea.

McGrath wrote for the Sunday World: "For Edinson Cavani, great goalscorer that he has been for a number of top clubs, is not going to be at United in three years' time - no matter how well he plays.

"The Uruguayan's 33-year-old legs will see to that!

"He came on yesterday for his United debut and almost scored with the first kick of the ball he had.

"But when I was at Manchester United, and when Alex Ferguson was leading the club to so many trophies, older players were rarely brought in on short-term deals.

"Henrik Larsson is one such exception that I can think of.

"And if Cavani has the strong influence the great Swedish centre-forward had in his brief stint at Old Trafford, then he will do fine.

"But United signing a 33-year-old centre-forward? Sorry, it's not for me."
