Edinson Cavani has been getting used to life without football after farming and perfecting his ballet skills in the Uruguayan countryside... now seven months after he last kicked a ball he's returning to the spotlight at Manchester United

Edinson Cavani had the option to settle for a quiet life in the countryside. After a staggering 200 goals for Paris Saint-Germain and 50 goals for his beloved Uruguay no one would've blamed him.

Instead the 33-year-old has decided to take on a new challenge. He has spent the last few months shearing sheep, labouring on the land and honing his ballet skills - now he has decided to swap a peaceful time for the intense spotlight at Manchester United.

Instead of spending time with his family he will fall under the microscope alongside his new family at one of the biggest clubs in world football.
