Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United will try and convince Edinson Cavani to stay at the end of the season when the time is right.

The 34-year old has been surrounded by rumours uncovering his unhappiness at Old Trafford and a link to Boca Juniors at the end of the season.

Cavani will be out of contract at the end of the season with an option to extend for another year yet his father’s comments in an interview with TyC Sports is evidence that the Uruguayan could leave.

My son does not feel comfortable in England and wants to be close to the family again.

“Edinson is going to end up playing in South America.

“I want Edinson to play in a team that fights for something important.

“Edinson had many conversations with Riquelme and he would like to play for Boca.

“He was always seduced by the idea of playing in Boca.

“If he returns to South America he is leaning towards Boca.”

“By the middle of the year, he will return to South America.

“My son’s idea is not to continue there, he wants to return.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says the club is considering the future of the forward and a deal could possibly be agreed soon.

“Edinson is working really hard to be available,” said the United manager on Wednesday.

“He is proud to play for Man United. Beyond this season, a decision hasn't been made.

“We'll convince him when the weather in Manchester improves.”
