He had been tempted by a last Argentine adventure at Boca Juniors.
But Edinson Cavani will extend the fun with Manchester United.
On Monday, the 34-year-old Uruguayan striker extended his contract for an additional season with the Red Devils.
The former PSG striker is therefore linked until June 2022 with Manchester United.
“During the season, I got attached to this club. I feel a deep bond with my teammates and Manchester United employees. Since my beginnings, I have felt the confidence of the coach. It allows me to play my best football and I want to thank him. I was also touched that the supporters want me to stay. I want to make them happy and I can't wait for them to return to Old Trafford, ”Cavani explained on the club's website.
A few days ago, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expressed his willingness to keep his striker.
The Norwegian is therefore delighted to be able to count on the Matador again next season.
“I always wanted him to stay.
We know his scoring qualities but his winning mentality has brought so much to the squad, said the Norwegian.
Edinson is one of the last to leave training each day and he sets an example for young people.

15 goals in 35 matches in all competitions
Cavani had had a difficult start with Manchester United.
In the field, he had to endure competition from Anthony Martial.
He also had a very bad experience with the three suspension matches and the fine of 115,000 euros imposed on him by the English federation last December, after he used the term "negrito" on social networks.
But in recent weeks, the Cavani machine has revived well.
He was the great architect of his team's qualification for the Europa League final with two doubles in the semi-finals against AS Roma (6-2 victory in the first leg, 3-2 defeat in the return).
Unlike his former PSG teammates, he will therefore play a European final this season.
Still a scorer on Sunday in the victory at Aston Villa (3-1), Cavani scored 15 goals in 35 games in all competitions, including 9 in 23 Premier League games this season.
