Manchester United have no intention of selling Edinson Cavani, despite Cristiano Ronaldo's imminent return to the club, according to reports.

Ronaldo is set to re-sign for United after 12 years away, a move which would put Cavani's place up front under threat.

There can be almost no doubt that Ronaldo will lead the line for Solskjaer's side, likely joining Jadon Sancho - United's most expensive signing of the transfer window - and Marcus Rashford in an ideal front three.

The Portugal captain has since gone on to cement his status as one of the game's all-time greats - the outright GOAT, perhaps, but let's not start a war...

If it wasn't already, this looks likely to prove to be Cavani's last season at Old Trafford. The 34-year-old had been strongly linked with a return to South America with Boca Juniors before agreeing to sign a new deal.
