The Uruguayan forward has left Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer and is ready to finalize his move to Old Trafford tonight.

His brother, also his agent, former Uruguayan international Walter Guglielmone told Futbol Insider: “It’s true. There is an agreement.”



Cavani, who has not played since March, will undergo a medical at United later today.

It is not yet known how many years his contract will last, but the initial ideas are one year with a possible one-year extension that can be activated by the club.

The 33-year-old forward spent seven years at PSG after previously playing in Italy for Napoli and Palermo.

But he has always liked an opportunity in the Prem, after scoring 200 goals for the French club.

Leeds were also chasing the experienced forward.

He also had talks with Benfica, he said.

But United’s large payment, a large sum for a player who turns 34 in February, paved the way for his transfer.

United hope to be able to have a similar spell to that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored 29 goals in his only season at Old Trafford, at 35.

Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been looking for a great forward to lead the line ever since he whipped Romelu Lukaku at Inter Milan for £ 73 million.

The Uruguayan will play at the top with players like Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood playing in the canals on either side.

Solskjaer is now targeting a middle center to complete her summer shopping list.

Previously, only £ 35 million Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek arrived, leaving United very short as they attempt to mount a serious title challenge.

The Norwegian said the club is being demanding: “It is much more complex than simply pointing a finger at a player and saying ‘he has the quality.’

“When you sign players, you go through a thorough process to make sure that the ones you bring in are the right ones for the club.

“It is easy to choose the best players in the world. All the clubs know them. “

Cavani’s arrival raises doubts that United will complete the signing of Jadon Sancho tomorrow.

Borussia Dortmund want 109 million pounds and the Red Devils bosses don’t want to pay that much.
