Manchester United are to hold showdown talks with Edison Cavani in a bid to keep the striker at Old Trafford for a further year.
The 34-year-old Uruguayan is entering the last few months of his one-year deal at Old Trafford, and has made no secret of his desire to return to South America when it ends, with Boca Juniors touted as a possible destination.
However, despite giving him limited game tome, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to keep him for another year.
Now United bosses Ed Woodward and new Director of Football John Murtagh have scheduled a meeting with the striker and his representatives to try to get him to change his mind.
Cavani has not always found his time in England easy, and was given a three match ban by the Football Association for using a term on social media that had a different connotation in his native Spanish than it does when translated into English.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
