Solskjaer offers update on Cavani's future at Man United

Edinson Cavani is still unsure about where he wants to play football next season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists no decision has been made on striker Edinson Cavani.

The striker’s one-year deal expires at the end of the season but there is an option that can be triggered to extend it for a further year.

Talks have continued between Solskjaer and the 34-year-old but his father cast doubt over his Manchester United future last month. He claimed his son was unhappy in England and would not be staying for a second season.

As it stands, Cavani is being tipped to make a move to Boca Juniors after already having conversations with the South American club.

Solskjaer was asked for an update on Cavani’s future ahead of United’s trip to Tottenham in the Premier League at the weekend. The Norwegian boss said the Uruguayan still hasn’t made up his mind.

“I’ve kept in touch with Edi of course. We keep an open dialogue and he’s still unsure what he wants to do next season, which I find fine” Solskjaer said as per the club’s website.

“It’s not been easy year either for him or the rest of the world, this season, so he still wants time to make his mind up.”

With Anthony Martial expected to be out for the rest of the season and with eight league games to play, plus potentially another four in the Europa League, Cavani is expected to play a part before the campaign is up.

“I’m very sure we will get the good version of Edinson for the rest of the season. He knows this is the business end of season, where we fight for the Europa League trophy and we can see the end line in the league” Solskjaer added.

“Only eight games left and you’re thinking about where you’re going to end up. He’s been so positive in and around the place, he’s been great to have. He’s been working hard now to get fit and we’ve got him. Now hopefully we can keep him fit for the next six or seven weeks.”
