Ralf Rangnick
Edinson Cavani has assured Ralf Rangnick he will see out his contract at Manchester United. Rangnick said last month he did not want to sell Cavani in the January transfer window amid speculation surrounding the striker’s future. When asked if he had informed any players they could go in January,
Ralf Rangnick said: “No, but I also didn’t tell Edi that he cannot leave. I told him that if it was up to me I would want him to stay and I had a conversation with him yesterday, he came into my office and we spoke for almost half an hour and he told me he will definitely stay and would want to stay until the end of the season. Not only because I told him that he should stay or has to stay, he did it on his own behalf and he told me that I can rely on him to stay until the end of the season and give his very best and be a role model for the young players. If he should play from the start, he’s available and he’s happy to play. Even if he’s not playing, he will be trying to be the best possible role model for the other players and, for me, this is good news because Edi is one of those players with his vast amount of experience, with his mentality, his work ethic, I think he could really be a perfect role model for the other players.”
