Edinson Cavani is one of the leading names in these last days in the Premier League. his assist against Leicester four minutes after leaving once again showed that the Uruguayan is a very important player at United and a forward who “is worth points”.
In the press conference prior to the game against the Wolves, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been asked several times about Cavani, both about the possibility of him starting -has only been once in Premier leaving the other seven games from the bench – as above all, the negotiation to extend your contract by one year.“At the moment it seems that he has a few years left. So far I can say. He has had a great impact since he came to the club and I trust him. “
With these words, the coach made it clear that his intention is to activate that possibility for another year so that the Uruguayan continues at United at least until 2022. With his goals and assists, three and two in the 205 minutes he has played in the Premier League, Cavani has knocked loudly on his doorownership, the one that an Anthony Martial occupies that is not going through its best time. Only one goal and three assists in the 713 minutes he has played in the league, a very poor performance that makes up with the two goals and two assists achieved in the Champions League.
“He is a starting player. You cannot classify a player of his quality as something else. We have many headlines, more than eleven, that's what happens when you're at Manchester United “, said the Norwegian coach. Against Wolves and driven by Rahsford's discomfort on his shoulder, Solskjaer will have the opportunity to make his words count and give the former PSG title back, something that only happened against West Ham five days ago.
To end the compliments, Solskjaer wanted to highlight Cavani's professionalism and good habits, which he allows at 33 years of age “be one of the fittest players we have“In addition, he also made reference to his ambition and confidence that did not make him hesitate to wear the prestigious number '7' at Old Trafford,”It was the first thing he asked me. Obviously he is a number with a lot of history, but if you think about his career, his personality and his experience, there was no doubt that he could wear it “
