Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Veteran Man United striker Edinson Cavani could be on his way out of the club after reportedly agreeing to join Barcelona.

Cavani's current deal with the Red Devils is set to expire at the end of the ongoing season, having been convinced to stay for another year by former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
