Edinson Cavani has signed contract extension with Manchester United.

The Uruguayan contributed to six of the Red Devils’ eight goals across the two legs of their successful Europa League semi-final tie against AS Roma.

Then last Sunday against Aston Villa in the Premier League, Cavani came off the bench and scored United’s third goal in a 3-1 comeback win.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirming  confirming on Monday afternoon that Cavani has signed a new deal with the Red Devils until June 22.

The 34-year-old now has 15 goals to his name across all competitions for the club in 2020/21, a stellar return given that he’s only played 1,859 minutes in his 35 appearances.

An official announcement from United is expected in the next day or two.

The news will certainly be a major boost for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side going into what will be a decisive – and tiring – few weeks in their season.

United have three Premier League fixtures against Leicester, Liverpool and Fulham in the next eight days, before they travel to Gdansk to play Villarreal in the Europa League final on May 26th.

Cavani will no doubt play a significant part in all three matches, particularly in the fixture against Villarreal.

El Matador’s European experience has proven vital to United’s Europa League run, the striker scoring five goals and contributing three assists in his 247 minutes of action in the competition.
