The Uruguayan joined United last summer from French side PSG and has impressed with 15 goals in 35 games.
It is now clear that he will extend his contract, which should have expired this summer, over the next season.
- When Edinson signed, I said he would add energy, power and leadership to the group.
And I have not been disproved.
He has been everything I wanted him to be and a little more, says the team's coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
It has previously been rumored that an agreement with Boca Juniors was close when Cavani wanted to return home to South America.
- I will do everything to please the fans with my efforts.
I have not played in front of Old Trafford's audience yet and I really long for it, says Cavani.
