Two year deal too, by the sounds of it.
They’re crazy.

The BBC article on this is just pure apologist rag propaganda. Here's some of the sentences they've put together to try and justify the move. No mention of the actual wage, or the agents fee....
It is understood the package on the table does not go beyond the current pay structure, so United feel any comparisons with Alexis Sanchez, who was given a £350,000-a-week contract which he failed to come close to justifying, would be wide of the mark.
They also feel Cavani's age is not an issue and his experience will help develop the younger players in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad.
In addition, senior United officials have not forgotten the impact Zlatan Ibrahimovic had on the club when he joined them as a 34-year-old in 2016.

Don't you just get sick and tired of their ex players coming out with " they should sign this player, that player" etc, and the media lap it all up with their dicks in hand and type furiously to make it the main headline. Cavani is 34 in February, that is one hell of a panic buy, nowhere near match fitness I'd guess as well. They love spunking money up the wall do the rags.
Ha ha£10m in Agent fees apparently, this has all the hallmarks of a Woodward panic deal in the last week of a window.
We may join the panic buying tomorrow!
They are essentially settling for PSG cast offs
Look at Thiago Silva, someone else PSG didn’t want, too old
He's gone to Chelsea
Yes but he is a PSG Cast off and there’s a reasonHe's gone to Chelsea
He’s 36 and will spend half the season injured
