However, he has endured a difficult run in the ongoing season, with injuries taking a huge toll on his form.

The veteran striker has also appeared to fall out with United's fan base, with many supporters putting into question his commitment to the club.

His current situation has now plunged his future at Old Trafford into question, with Metro UK reporting there is little appetite from either side for the forward to extend his stay with United.

Edinson Cavani backed for La Liga move

The former Paris Saint-Germain had earlier been projected to return to South America to wind up his career close home.

Arch-rivals River Plate and Boca Juniors had both come close to landing the services of Cavani last summer but the Uruguayan was convinced to extend his deal with United.

The 35-year-old has since been tipped to continue playing in Europe, with a move to Real Sociedad on the cards.

His imminent departure is expected to force United to enter the market in search of a new striker to supplement Cristiano Ronaldo up front.
