Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been delighted with Edinson Cavani's impact on his Manchester United squad.

The 34-year-old signed a new contract with United on Monday to keep him at Old Trafford until 2022.

"I said when Edinson signed that he would bring energy, power and leadership to this group and I haven't been proved wrong, he has been everything I thought he would be and more," said the Norwegian.

"As coaches we knew about his goalscoring record, however it is his personality that has brought so much to this squad, he has a winning mentality and has an unequivocal attitude to everything he does.

"Edinson is one of the last to leave the training ground and sets the tone for the upcoming youngsters with his approach to his profession every single day.

"I have always wanted him to stay and experience the way our fans will respond to him as a player, and this means he will hopefully get that opportunity."
