A number of Manchester United supporters are delighted after Ralf Rangnick confirmed that Edinson Cavani would stay put at the club beyond January.

The Uruguayan has enjoyed a wonderful playing career, excelling in the likes of Italy, France and England, not to mention scoring 53 goals in 126 caps for his country.

Cavani has struggled for playing time at United this season, though, only starting three matches in the Premier League, leading to speculation surrounding his future.

With Cristiano Ronaldo returning to Old Trafford last August, it has seemingly been harder to fit the 34-year-old into the team's plans. It appears as though Cavani will not be leaving United this month, though.

Fabrizio Romano took to Twitter to share these emphatic comments from Rangnick on the veteran Uruguay striker: "Cavani will definitely NOT leave in January. We spoke about Edi and he knows that I will definitely not let him go — we will definitely need Edi. He’s amazing.

"I told him from the very first day, for me he is a highly important player. He’s staying."
