Manchester United complete the signing of Edinson Cavani on a free transfer, with the former Paris Saint-Germain striker signing an initial one-year deal at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have completed the signing of former Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani on a free transfer.

The 33-year-old left PSG at the end of his contract at the Parc des Princes earlier this summer and has now put pen to paper on a one-year deal at Old Trafford, with the option to extend for a further year.

The Uruguay international scored a club-record 200 goals for PSG, helping the club to six Ligue 1 titles during his illustrious career in France.

"Manchester United is one of the greatest clubs in the world, so it is a real honour to be here. I've worked really hard during the time off and I feel eager to compete and represent this incredible club," Cavani told the club's official website.

"I have played in front of some of the most passionate supporters in football during my career and I know that it will be the same in Manchester. I cannot wait to experience the Old Trafford atmosphere, when it is safe for the fans to return.

"I look forward to continuing to write my little story inside the book of football and I know that's why my focus has to remain the same as always - work, work, work. I have had a conversation with the manager and this has increased my desire to wear this beautiful shirt."

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added: "Edinson is an experienced ultimate professional who always gives everything for his team. His goalscoring record for club and country is fantastic and we are delighted to sign a player of his calibre.

"He'll bring energy, power, leadership and a great mentality to the squad but, most importantly, he'll bring goals. He has had a brilliant career so far, winning trophies at almost every club he has played for, and he still has so much more to give at the highest level.

"The opportunity for our young players to learn from one of Europe's top goalscorers over the last 10 years is fantastic and it will really benefit them going forward. Edinson knows exactly what it takes to succeed and we are all looking forward to seeing him make an impact at Manchester United."

Cavani joins Donny van de Beek and Alex Telles as summer signings for United, while the club have also agreed a deal to sign Amad Traore in January.
