Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the club is in talks over Edinson Cavani’s future at Old Trafford.

Cavani, who moved to United on deadline day in October, has the option of a 12-month extension to his one-year deal.

However, rumours have continued to mount in recent weeks that the Uruguyan could leave this summer.

His father Luis revealed that there is a 60 per cent chance that his son will find a new club. What’s more, he added that Boca Juniors could be that club.

More recently, though, reports have claimed that Cavani has reached a verbal agreement with Boca.

“We want a competitive squad and we need someone up there to score the goals for us.

“So we’re looking at it.”

Once Cavani regained his fitness following several months as a free agent, the striker added a serious goal threat to United.
