Manchester United have made Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani their second Deadline Day signing, on a one-year contract with the option of a further 12 months.
The 33-year-old, who left Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, joins Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Man Utd side on a free transfer after scoring 341 goals in European club football since moving to the continent in 2007.
"I’ve worked really hard during the time off and I feel eager to compete and represent this incredible club," Cavani told the club's official website.
"I look forward to continuing to write my little story inside the book of football and I know that’s why my focus has to remain the same as always - work, work, work. I have had a conversation with the manager and this has increased my desire to wear this beautiful shirt."
