Man Utd Treble winner Cole hoping Cavani stays

Manchester United Treble winner Andy Cole hopes they can keep hold of Edinson Cavani.

Cole insists Cavani, off contract in June, still has much to give - even at 34.

He said, "I'd be really happy to see him stay. If you look at his performances for Manchester United so far they have been brilliant.

"At 34, you see the goals he's getting and when he does play Manchester United have that pivotal man up front.

"They know they can play through him with his hold-up play. Watch the goal he got in midweek against Roma, his link-up play there was fantastic with how he slipped Bruno [Fernandes] in.

"This for me personally shows that Manchester United need an out-and-out No.9 and if he stays I think it would be great for the club."
