Manchester United will be targeting a new striker next summer because Edinson Cavani is set to leave the club if his contract runs out.
Edinson Cavani joined Manchester United as a free agent when his contract runs out at Paris Saint Germain, he came to England and he has done really well.
Manchester United persuaded him to sign a new one-year deal and that’s the reason why he stayed at the club for one more season. It seems like his time at the club is coming to an end.
Barcelona and other clubs showed an interest in him, but Ralf Rangnick declined. He wants the Uruguayan forward to stay at the club until the end of the season.
The German manager was asked during his press conference ahead of the today’s game against Brighton. He claimed that Edinson Cavani has a few months left on his current contract.
There’s a big possibility that Manchester United will sign a new forward next summer. The club’s main target is Darwin Nunez and he could be the favorite striker to replace Edinson Cavani.
We’ll be revealing everything you need to know about the Benfica’s wonderkid, who is on fire in the Portuguese league.
