Edinson Cavani: Striker agrees Man Utd contract extension

Striker Edinson Cavani has agreed to stay at Manchester United for another season - with the club close to announcing the deal.

Cavani, 34, was undecided over whether to stay for a second year after experiencing a number of issues early in his time with the club.

However, those matters have been resolved and BBC Sport has been told an agreement has been reached.

United have not confirmed it, but it is understood to be a matter of time.

Cavani has had an outstanding finish to the season and scored his eighth goal in seven games - and his 15th in total - in Sunday's 3-1 Premier League win at Aston Villa.
