United head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been using Anthony Martial as No. 9 in recent months and the arrival of Cavani would give the Red Devils more options and competition up front for the new season.
The Old Trafford giants are understood to have agreed to a two-year deal with Cavani and his older brother and agent, Walter Guglielmone, did little to quell rumors when asked about the Uruguayan’s future this weekend.
Pressed by recent speculation, he said Inside Soccer: ‘It is true.
‘There is an agreement [with Manchester United].
Despite his age and lack of Premier League experience, Cavani will immediately feel pressured to start running and score goals early on as he has been demanding a salary of £ 210,000 a week.
The attacker scored just seven goals in all competitions last season, his lowest record since the 2007/08 season when he played for Palermo.
However, former United striker Louis Saha is confident that Cavani will be a “prominent addition” for his former club.
“I thought Christmas was December,” the Frenchman tweeted.
‘Cavani is a first-rate signing. Scorer and great source of energy inspiration.
“Manchester United will dominate the transition due to their pace of work.”
