'Cavani looks like he's 24!' - Solskjaer hails Man Utd striker ahead of 34th birthday outing at West Brom

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed Edinson Cavani ahead of his birthday outing at West Brom on Sunday, insisting the Manchester United striker "looks like he's 24" instead of 34.

Cavani has quickly established himself as a fan favourite at Old Trafford after joining the club on a free transfer back in October, giving Solskjaer a valuable extra option in the final third alongside Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood.

The Norwegian boss has been delighted with the Uruguayan's impact for the Red Devils in the first half of the season, and says the veteran forward's preparation between matches and insatiable hunger for success befits a younger man rather than one heading towards the latter stages of their career.
