Man United striker Edinson Cavani urged to leave Old Trafford and return to South America to play where he is 'comfortable' by Uruguay coach - with Premier League giants yet to trigger option to extend stay by another year

Edinson Cavani has been urged to consider leaving Manchester United this summer by a member of Uruguay's coaching staff.

The veteran ace's future is unclear with his short-term deal at Old Trafford set to run down in just a matter of months - and a move to Boca Juniors has been touted.

And Uruguay assistant coach Mario Rebollo has suggested that a potential return to South America may benefit both Cavani and his country.
