Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hints at a contract extension for Edinson Cavani

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted that Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani might get a contract extension at Old Trafford.

The 33-year-old signed a one-year contract with the club that has an option to be extended for an additional year. Solskjaer said in this regard:

"At the moment, it looks like he’s got a few years left in him, so I wouldn’t say anything else. He has made a great impact when he’s come here, so let’s focus on improving everyone as well. But he’s got a few years left in him."

Cavani has mostly been restricted to starts from the bench, but Solskjaer believes that that could change in a busy season:

"He is definitely a starter. You don’t classify a player of that quality as anything else. We have got plenty of starters, more than 11 starters, and that’s the thing when you are at Manchester United. You should believe, trust in yourself. I trust him; I trust my players, and we’ve got good competition for places. He’ll probably start more games than he will not start."
