Edinson Cavani has signed a fresh new contract at Manchester United and has extended his stay for a further one year.
As confirmed by the club’s official website, Edinson Cavani is been in love with the club and has decided to extend his stay. This news is a fantastic one, with fans and players already craving to hear this.
Solksjaer was adamant that he will try his best to convince Cavani to stay for one more year and help the team. Cavani was stuck in a dilemma last month regarding his contract. His father, Luis even suggested that Cavani will most likely leave for another team. Boca Juniors were ready to provide a two-year contract to Cavani.
But after his recent performances, the club has acted swiftly and they spoke to Cavani regarding their plans with him. Cavani was spectacular for Manchester United as he scored 15 goals since joining the club in October last year. He has been in red hot form right now and has already scored eight goals in the last seven matches. It includes four goals that he scored against Roma in both the semi-final ties.

Cavani in his statement to the club said: “Over the season, I have developed a great affection for the club and everything that it represents. I feel a deep bond with my teammates and the staff who work behind the scenes here. They give me extra motivation every day and I know that, together, we can achieve special things. 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 by how much the supporters have wanted me to stay, and I will give them everything to bring them happiness and joy with my performances on the field. I’ve not yet been able to play in front of the Old Trafford crowd and that is something that I cannot wait to do.”
This is wonderful news for everyone associated with the club. Edinson Cavani can help United compete for more trophies next season and he has already set his eyes on the prestigious Europa League trophy.
