Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Herrera and Forlan convinced me about Cavani

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he's excited working with Edinson Cavani.

Solskjaer believes United will benefit from getting Cavani late in his career.

“I haven't been surprised by Edinson, just impressed," said the Norwegian.

“I spoke to Ander Herrera, Diego Forlan and other players who knew Edinson and every single one of them sang his praises for his attitude and his personality.

“When you're a footballer, there is a spell early on in your career when you're young and you're eager.

“Then you enter a stage half-way through when you come to think you're invincible.

“But then you get towards the end – and that's when you really make the most of it.

“Edinson isn't going to let his career be cut short through any lack of desire or determination or lack of work."
