Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still hopes to convince Edinson Cavani to extend his Manchester United stay despite the striker's father suggesting he is ready to quit the club this summer.

After leaving Paris St Germain as their all-time top scorer, the 34-year-old free agent moved to Old Trafford in October and signed a deal until the end of the season with the option of a further year.

Cavani has scored seven goals in 25 appearances to date and Solskjaer has made no secret about his desire to keep him at the club next season, although the player's father has indicated that is unlikely.

Luis Cavani reportedly said there was a 60 per cent chance that his son would return to South America as he "does not feel comfortable where he is", mentioning Boca Juniors as a possible destination.

"David (De Gea) is not available. Donny (Van De Beek), no. Paul (Pogba), no. Edinson, maybe but probably not. Juan (Mata), no. And Marcus maybe but probably not.

"So, similar to Sunday but maybe we've lost Marcus.

"I don't think he'll be available for tomorrow. He's still getting treatment but he didn't join in the training today.

"Even though I'm normally a very optimistic guy, I still think he's out of tomorrow night and probably a doubt for the weekend."
