Manchester United will keep Edinson Cavani despite re-signing Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, United have no intention of selling Cavani before the transfer window closes, as reported by Manchester Evening News.
Manchester United have no plans to sell striker Edinson Cavani during this transfer window
Ronaldo had seemed set to join rivals Manchester City but will now re-join United in a £19.4million move.
Cavani has yet to play for United so far this season having been given an extended break following his involvement with Uruguay at the Copa America and a subsequent personal issue.
Cavani is set to stay at United despite the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Old Trafford
During his first season at United Cavani scored 19 goals in 37 games across all competitions
Towards the end of last season Cavani, 34, signed a one-year contract extension with United.
During his first campaign at the club the veteran forward scored 17 goals in 39 games across all competitions.
Ronaldo’s return is likely to push Cavani down the pecking order but it is possible that the two experienced attackers could play together, should Solskjaer make tweaks to his system.
Cavani is back in training with United and could return to the squad for the game away to Wolves on Sunday.
