Edinson Cavani: Ralf Rangnick 'desperately' wants Man Utd striker to stay

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick says he "desperately" wants striker Edinson Cavani to stay at Old Trafford until the end of the season.

Cavani, who joined United on a free transfer from Paris St-Germain in 2020, signed a contract extension with the club until June 2022.

The Uruguay international has been linked with Barcelona and Juventus in the January transfer window.

"He knows that I will definitely not let him go," said Rangnick.

Cavani, 34, came off the bench to score a second-half equaliser in United's 1-1 draw at Newcastle last week and partnered Cristiano Ronaldo up front during the 3-1 win over Burnley three days later.
