Solskjaer heaps praise on Cavani, hopes Uruguayan will stay

The Hindu  

Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani’s superb performances over two legs of the side’s Europa League semifinal against AS Roma are exactly why the club wants to keep the Uruguayan at Old Trafford, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said. The 34-year-old scored two goals and provided two assists in United’s 6-2 victory in the first leg at Old Trafford and struck twice again in Thursday’s 3-2 defeat in the return fixture as the English side reached the final with an 8-5 aggregate win. “The reason we’re here is because we’ve got a centre-forward who has scored four goals in the tie,” Solskjaer said of Cavani in his post-match news conference. “He’s an absolute top professional and everyone in my team can learn from him.” Solskjaer’s side, which is second in the Premier League, next faces Aston Villa on Sunday before matches against Leicester City on Tuesday and bitter rival Liverpool in a rearranged fixture on Thursday.
