Cavani signs new contract with Man United

Manchester United have confirmed that striker Edinson Cavani has agreed a one-year contract extension.

The 34-year-old joined United as a free agent from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, signing a one-year deal with the option to extend for a further year.

Earlier this year his father, Luis, said that the striker didn’t feel “comfortable” and was likely to move to Boca Juniors in the next transfer window.

But after a strong finish to the season that has seen him score eight goals in his last seven games, Cavani has agreed to stay until 2022.

He told the club website: “Over the season, I have developed a great affection for the club and everything that it represents. I feel a deep bond with my team-mates and the staff who work behind the scenes here.

“From the very first moment that I arrived, I felt the confidence of the manager. As a player, this belief gives you the perfect opportunity to play your best football and I want to thank him for that.

“I have been touched with how much the supporters have wanted me to stay, and I will give everything to bring them happiness and joy with my performances on the field.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added: “I said when Edinson signed, that he would bring energy, power and leadership to this group and I haven’t been proved wrong, he has been everything I thought he would be and more.
