Edinson Cavani Opens Up about the Decision to Choose Manchester United

DBasia.news – Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani has opened up about his decision to come to Old Trafford in the summer of 2020. He admitted that he did not think twice when he received an offer from Manchester United.

Last summer, Edinson Cavani became a free agent because he did not renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

Cavani has been linked with a number of big European clubs. However, on the final day of the summer transfer window, he was announced to be Manchester United’s new signing.

Edinson Cavani also opened up about the moment when he made the decision to join Manchester United.

“At that time I didn’t have a club and there were a lot of rumors circulating,” Cavani told ESPN Brasil.

According to Cavani, his brother, who was also his agent, opened communication with many clubs at that time. So when there were rumors circulating regarding his future, it was only natural.

“My agent is my brother, and he did not close the door for any club. At that time there were many clubs who were interested in me,” he said.

“This is why there were a lot of rumors circulating about me last summer, saying Cavani would join this club and that,” said the striker who eventually joined Manchester United.

Edinson Cavani also revealed that Manchester United had long been interested in using his services. However, he just decided to move to Old Trafford last summer.

“Last summer, there were many offers coming in. I discussed the offers internally with my brother,” he said.

“We decided to join Manchester United. About five years ago, United had approached me, but we only joined this great club last summer,” he said.

Cavani’s first season at Manchester United was quite good. He successfully packed seven goals and two assists for the Red Devils.
