May 11, 2021 Cavani Signs Contract Extension With Manchester United

Edinson Cavani has signed a contract extension at Manchester United that keeps the Uruguay striker at the club until June 2022.

The 34-year-old has had an outstanding finish to the season, scoring eight goals in seven games.

Cavani said: "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."

Cavani, who was undecided over whether to stay for a second year, added: "They give me extra motivation every day and I know that together we can achieve special things."

Since joining on a free transfer in October 2020, the forward has bagged 15 goals in all competitions - his latest coming in Sunday's 3-1 Premier League win at Aston Villa.

He has been one of the leading strikers in European football for the past decade, scoring a record 200 goals in 301 appearances for Paris St-Germain after joining from Napoli, where he made his name.

Cavani left the French club in June 2020 following a disagreement with Brazil forward Neymar.

Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he always wanted Cavani to stay for a second season.

"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," said the Norwegian.
