Would Edinson Cavani ever cut his hair short?

Perhaps it’s the Uruguayan celebrating yet another goal with his trademark ‘archer’ routine, or maybe that insatiable desire to chase a lost cause, which has so endeared him to Manchester United fans during his 12 months at the club.

Who are we kidding? It’s definitely the long, flowing black hair, isn’t it?

The latest in a long line of South American strikers with luscious locks (think Claudio Caniggia, Gabriel Batistuta or Edi’s former team-mate and ex-Red Diego Forlan), Cavani just wouldn’t look the same with a short back and sides.

It seems like the man himself agrees too, as he was asked the question by Louis from the UK as part of a brand-new fans’ Q&A, which will be published in full across our platforms and in the Newcastle edition of United Review, our official matchday programme, over the weekend.
