Man Utd boss Solskjaer: I've told Cavani I want to see him score in front of full Stretford End

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he wants to see Edinson Cavani play in front of a full Stretford End.

Cavani is off contract in June and leaning towards leaving Old Trafford.

After victory over Tottenham on Sunday, Solskjaer said: "We've had up front and honest meetings.

"It's no secret we want to keep him. I don't think it's any secret too that this has been a difficult year for everyone.

“With the pandemic it's not been possible to have friends over, family over without quarantine. You can't travel.

"He's not been able to experience the fantastic culture in Manchester and in and around in England, and he is contemplating and thinking hard and long about what he wants to do and I understand.

“He knows what we want; I want him in Old Trafford when it's full, Stretford End scoring a diving header like today. There's no better feeling, so let's wait and see."
