LONDON -- Edinson Cavani is 34 years old, out of contract at the end of the season and, according to Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, "still wants time to make his mind up" about whether to stay at the club. But in his inspiring of a 3-1 win at Tottenham on Sunday, the Uruguayan striker showed why he cannot be allowed to leave.
Unless United are able to surprise everyone by signing Erling Haaland, Harry Kane or a player of similar world-class quality this summer, they should buy themselves time by persuading Cavani to stay.
