Manchester United have announced the signing of Edinson Cavani on a free transfer, with the Uruguayan having agreed to join the Old Trafford club after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired.
It initially looked like it would be Madrid where the Uruguayan built his new home, with the 33-year-old linked with both Atletico and Real Madrid as far back as January.
However, both of the Spanish clubs went in a different direction and the opportunity for Manchester United appeared late in the window.
His contract at Old Trafford is one year long until June 2021, but there is an option to extend it by a further season, should he impress.
