As is often the case in modern football, the rumour mill has been swirling with contrasting stories about Cavani, linking him with both a return to South America and a second season at United.
Always professional, Edinson remains focused on his football and Solskjaer is using the lure of a packed Old Trafford to convince Cavani to extend his stay in Manchester, as the manager explained in his pre-Roma press conference.
“We have had some good conversations and even though the decision is still in his court, I’m still hopeful,”
Ole told reporters via a video call.
“Maybe more so when you see him against Roma and I tell him about doing that in front of the Stretford End. That’s magic and I’m hopeful.”
