The 37-year-old, who signed for Boca Juniors in the summer, was ghosting around in the box when the ball was floated towards him from the right side.

Using some imagination the former Uruguay international leapt off the ground and stunned the Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades with a brilliant bicycle kick.

The goal put Boca Juniors 2-0 up with Cavani also the scorer of the opening goal of the game.

Man United fans caught wind of the individual brilliance and took to social media to vent their frustrations at Cavani no longer plying his trade at Old Trafford.

One wrote: “I still miss him everyday. Cristiano’s return deprived us the opportunity to witness his greatness. Good to say we failed him.”

While another added: “If we integrated Cavani and Ronaldo in the 11 properly. we would’ve been a treble-worthy squad.”

A third commented: “We should have kept this guy at United!”

And a fourth suggested he would be useful to have around the club as a mentor to £72m man Rasmus Hojlund.

They wrote: “He could still be at Man Utd. He’d be a perfect back up for Højlund, who would be learning from the best.”

Between 2020 and 2023, Cavani played for United for two seasons, making 59 appearances and tallying 19 goals.

Now, the team is betting on Hojlund, who joined from Atalanta in the summer.

In his first 31 games for the Manchester giants, the 21-year-old has scored 13 goals and provided two assists in a tumultuous season for Erik ten Hag’s team.
