Gary Neville says Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford NEED another year of Edinson Cavani at Manchester United as he hails the 'brilliant example' he sets the young forwards by coaching them during games

Gary Neville praised striker Edinson Cavani's 'brilliant example' set to Manchester United's young forwards after a fine performance in a 3-1 victory against Tottenham on Sunday, when he scored a crucial goal and could have had another.

The 34-year-old Uruguayan has scored eight goals in 29 appearances since signing on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in October, a move Neville admitted he was worried about given the failures of Radamel Falcao and Alexis Sanchez.

But on the Gary Neville podcast, the Red Devils icon hailed Cavani's off-the-ball movement, work rate and finishing and stated his hope he would stay at Old Trafford another year to pass those skills onto Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood.
