Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Edinson Cavani on a free transfer.

The Uruguayan striker has signed a one-year contract with an option to extend for a further year.

Cavani, 33, was a free agent after his seven-year spell with PSG came to an end this past summer.

Speaking to the club's website, Cavani said: "Manchester United is one of the greatest clubs in the world, so it is a real honour to be here.

"I've worked really hard during the time off and I feel eager to compete and represent this incredible club.

"I have played in front of some of the most passionate supporters in football during my career and I know that it will be the same in Manchester.

"I cannot wait to experience the Old Trafford atmosphere, when it is safe for the fans to return.

"I look forward to continuing to write my little story inside the book of football and I know that's why my focus has to remain the same as always - work, work, work. I have had a conversation with the manager and this has increased my desire to wear this beautiful shirt."
