Manchester United 'primed to offer Edinson Cavani £250,000-a-week wage' in a bid to tempt the Uruguayan striker to stay at Old Trafford for another season

Manchester United are reportedly set to bump Edinson Cavani's salary up to £250,000-a-week in a bid to persuade him to remain at the club for another season.

The Uruguayan striker currently earns £200,000-a-week and with his contract expiring this summer and his future currently uncertain, the club are seemingly set to offer him a £2.5million rise.

According to the Sun, the club felt the 34-year-old was keen on a return to his native South America and therefore plan to improve his wage to keep him for another campaign, with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hopeful an agreement can be made.
