Mazzarri: Man Utd striker Cavani would improve Real Madrid

Former Napoli coach, Walter Mazzarri, says his former striker Edinson Cavani would make a difference for Real Madrid.

Cavani penned a new 12 month deal with Manchester United earlier this week.

Mazzarri told France Football: “I am really proud of his career. He’s a player who gave me a lot and, in my opinion, he can still give today, as he demonstrated against Roma in the Europa League! He has the characteristics to continue to evolve in big clubs. In Real Madrid for example.

“There are great players there, but not with his profile. He could only do good: would plead young people to grow up, and in the field, an association with Karim Benzema would be very interesting. There would be no problem: Cavani still works for the team, he likes it. I know him very well, I had him for three years.

“Beyond technical and physical skills, his main quality is his leadership.”
