Manchester United do not hold tight to their wallets when the transfer window is open - or are closing.

The club announces the signing of Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, 33, whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain has expired.

The contract extends over this season with the option of another.

The annual salary has not been announced, but there has been talk of 10 million euros.

- Manchester United is one of the world's biggest clubs and it is a real honor to be here, Cavani says to United's official website.

Cavani scored over 200 goals and won six league titles at PSG.

In Uruguay, he has scored 50 goals in 116 games.

- He is an experienced, ultimate thoroughbred professional who always gives everything for the team.

He contributes with energy, power, leadership, mentality and goals, says coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to the website.

United are also recruiting Brazilian left-back Alex Telles, 27, from Porto.

The contract extends to 2024 with an option for another year.

In addition, Atalanta's great talent Amad Traoré, 18, from Atalanta joins.

The Ivorian striker joins in January.
