Roy Keane claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 'gamble' on veteran Edinson Cavani has paid off after he fired Manchester United to comeback win at Southampton and believes former PSG star will be a 'huge signing'

Roy Keane claimed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 'gamble' on signing Edinson Cavani has paid off after his match-winning double fired Manchester United to a comeback win against Southampton.

The Red Devils trailed 2-0 at half-time but Bruno Fernandes' finish before a late double from substitute Cavani saw United produce a stunning turnaround in a 3-2 victory at St Mary's.

Cavani had not played competitively since February when United signed the unattached Uruguayan, 33, on transfer deadline having missed out on other targets.

But the veteran striker silenced his doubters emphatically with his second and third goals for the club, and former United player Roy Keane said it looks like a well-taken gamble by the club's hierarchy.
