Edinson Cavani reveals how Cristiano made him regret signing for Man United in interesting admission

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Manchester United forward Edinson Cavani reconsidered his future at the club once he learnt of the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cavani, 35, has his current contract expiring at the end of the season, and he is one of the many stars at Old Trafford set for the exit door.

He initially joined United from Paris Saint Germain in January 2020, before eventually signing a contract extension on May 10 2021.

Despite having his moments, his spell at the Theatre of Dreams has been marred by constant injuries that have kept him on the sidelines for long spells.

In the summer of 2021, United, in a bid to bolster their attack, announced a last minute signing of their former star Cristiano Ronaldo, who signed a two-year deal with the club.
