Edinson Cavani left Old Trafford earlier this summer.
The veteran forward left Man United this summer after two seasons with the Red Devils.
He scored 17 goals in his debut season for the club that eventually earned him a contract extension.
He has now signed a two-year contract with Spanish giants Valencia and Cavani explains the reason behind his move.
“We’re here because, right from the start, the club wanted me,” he said.
“It’s not just about where you want to go; it’s also down to the club having an interest in you. It’s taken many days going back and forth, and there was always a desire shown for me to be here. What motivated me the most was that I know that Valencia CF are a big club.
“This is a beautiful challenge for me, so I’m here because I feel that there is a passion for football which fulfils us as players when it’s time to go out onto the pitch. There have been some very long days, as we were a little anxious to know what was going to happen, waiting for this moment to arrive. We know what Valencia CF represent and this excites us and motivates us for this new challenge.
“I’m very happy to be part of the history of this club, and I hope that together we can do wonderful things.”
