​Man Utd attacker Cavani: I'm proud to wear this shirt

Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani admits his joy at representing the club.

The Uruguayan star earned a new contract, and will stay with the Red Devils next season.

Cavani netted a superb 40-yard lob to give United the lead against Fulham on Tuesday, before they were pegged back for a 1-1 draw.

"I'm very happy and pleased to be a part of this club and to wear this shirt with pride," he said post-game, per the club website.

"As I mentioned before, I'm one of football's hard workers, and I'm here to give my very best, right until the final minute of every game and until the final game I play for the club."

He added: "I'll be doing my best to ensure we can enjoy some happy moments altogether.

"So, I hope to see you all soon, and thanks very much for all the good wishes I've received throughout the difficult and complicated year we've all been having, both on social media and from the people around me."
