Manchester United fans loved Edinson Cavani oozing passion when Scott McTominay put the Red Devils 1-0 up against Burnley on Thursday night.
After coming off the bench to score the equaliser against Newcastle United, Cavani started up top with Cristiano Ronaldo as United ran out 3-1 winners at Old Trafford.
The Uruguayan didn't have a goal to show for his efforts but led the line superbly.

And Cavani further endeared himself to the United faithful as he celebrated animatedly when McTominay found the net.
Stood just in front of the six yard box, Cavani started wheeling his arms out and dancing wildly as though he had scored the goal.
Cavani has been linked with a move away from United and some fans were extremely worried seeing him waving to supporters following the win over Burnley.
