Edinson Cavani has admitted that a conversation with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made his decision to join Manchester United easy.
The Uruguayan was one of four arrivals on the deadline as United’s transfer window finally sped up.
Cavani represents the attack addition that Solskjaer had been looking for throughout the window as he looked to add additional firepower to his squad.
Much of the summer was spent chasing Jadon Sancho, while Ousmane Dembele and Ismaila Sarr were linked with the Old Trafford changes.
However, Cavani finalized a move before the window closed, signing a one-year deal, with the option to extend it for another 12 months next summer.
The 33-year-old joins United after a prolific spell in the French capital. During his seven seasons with PSG, he won six Ligue 1 titles, scoring more than 200 goals in the process.
He will hope to start immediately in the Premier League and revealed that it was a conversation with the United boss that strengthened his desire to make the move.
“I have had a conversation with the coach and this has increased my desire to wear this beautiful shirt,” he told the club’s official website.
“Manchester United are one of the best clubs in the world, so it is a real honor to be here. I have worked very hard during my free time and I am looking forward to competing and representing this amazing club.
“I have played in front of some of the most passionate football fans in my career and I know it will be the same in Manchester. I can’t wait to experience the atmosphere of Old Trafford when the fans are sure to return.”
Along with Cavani, Brazilian winger Alex Telles and young wingers Facundo Pellistri and Amad Traore signed for United, who are looking to put behind Sunday’s win against Tottenham.
And Solskjaer believes Cavani’s arrival will provide a great spark for his young team, when they return to Carrington after the international break.
“The opportunity for our young players to learn from one of Europe’s top scorers in the last 10 years is fantastic and will really benefit them in the future,” he said. “Edinson knows exactly what it takes to be successful and we are all looking forward to seeing him make an impact at Manchester United.”
