Manchester United Champions League winner Owen Hargreaves says Edinson Cavani deserves a new contract.

Cavani has been a revelation since arriving as a free agent following the conclusion of his Paris Saint Germain deal, and has carved out his position as United's first choice striker.

Speaking in the BT Studio during punditry duty after United's clash with Roma, Hargreaves outlined: "Every ex-man United player or fan wants Harry Kane or [Erling] Haaland but the money that will cost now in the climate is just not realistic.

"I think Cavani has done a wonderful job. Get him to sign a new deal and obviously there are no transfer payments there. Obviously he's on big wages. I think they need a right winger. I think they can spend that Haaland, Kane money on potentially three other players."
