Edinson Cavani has been in sparkling form for Manchester United in recent weeks.
The Uruguayan contributed to six of the Red Devils' eight goals across the two legs of their successful Europa League semi-final tie against AS Roma.
Then last Sunday against Aston Villa, Cavani came off the bench and scored United's third goal in a 3-1 comeback win.
Cavani now has 15 goals across all competitions for the club in 2020/21, a stellar return given that he's only played 1,859 minutes in his 35 appearances.
As a result of his prolificacy, United fans have been desperate for the team to tie him down to a new contract.
Well, they have finally got their wish, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirming on Monday afternoon that Cavani has signed a new deal with the Red Devils until June 22.
