Edinson Cavani reveals he would have left Man United last summer if he had known Cristiano Ronaldo would be re-joining - as departing striker admits he would've asked his agent for a move

Edinson Cavani has revealed he would not have stayed at Manchester United if he had known Cristiano Ronaldo was returning to the club.

Cavani turned down a move to Boca Juniors last summer to spend a second season at Old Trafford, but was shocked to see United re-sign Ronaldo from Juventus on deadline day.

The Portugal star was installed as United's main striker ahead of Cavani - even taking the Uruguayan's No 7 shirt - and has been the club's top scorer by some distance with 24 goals so far this season.
