Manchester United will be on the hunt for a new striker in the summer transfer window after it became clear Edinson Cavani will leave the club when his contract expires.
Cavani joined United on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in October 2020 and has provided a useful backup option for the past 18 months. But he has struggled for game time this season and has decided to leave the club in search of new opportunities when his deal expires on July 1. Fabrizio Romano reports that his destination as a free agent will be confirmed soon.
While rarely first choice for Ralf Rangnick or Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Cavani has proved a worthwhile addition at United. He has contributed 19 goals and seven assists in 55 appearances altogether and his departure will leave a hole in the squad which needs replacing.
