Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United will sit down with Edinson Cavani to discuss the veteran striker's future.
The 34-year-old striker has impressed on and off the pitch since joining on a free transfer in October, when Paris St Germain's all-time top scorer signed a one-season deal with the option to extend by a further year.
Cavani has scored seven goals in 24 appearances for United and Solskjaer has made no secret of his hopes to keep the Uruguay international at Old Trafford.
Second-placed United could be 13 points behind Pep Guardiola's men come kick-off on Sunday but Solskjaer is not focusing too much on their rivals.
"I don't think anyone would say they're not going to go for it," he said. "We're going to go for a win every single game we play. Of course we are.
"But whatever other teams do – City, Liverpool, Leicester, Chelsea, Tottenham, whoever, West Brom – we can't control.
"We've just got to control ourselves. We are in the position we are, we are second and, of course, your ambition then is to not end any lower than that.
"We're going to have to get a good run together if we're going to put pressure on City and it should start on Sunday, of course.
"We can't hide the fact that we have dropped off our form a bit the last few weeks.
"We dropped points against Everton, Sheff United, West Brom – points that we feel we deserved more and we should have got more.
"Tonight was about finding ourselves, tonight was about getting the X factor back in, the brightness and the focus, so Newcastle will be a very important game for us. Definitely."
