Edinson Cavani has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Boca Juniors over a summer transfer as he sets his sights on an early exit from Old Trafford. The Uruguayan is believed to be


keen on returning to his native South America in order to be closer to his family, just five months into his Manchester United career. The seasoned veteran arrived in Manchester on deadline


day last October on an initial one-month contract following his release from Paris Saint-Germain. At the turn of the year, Cavani finally began to show signs of life in his new colours and


made several important contributions with goals against Fulham, Southampton and Everton. He has since struggled with a muscle injury and a separate knock which have kept him out of action


since the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace. United are said to be frustrated with Cavani's recent fitness record amid claims he wants to leave the club. EXCLUSIVE: MANCHESTER UNITED


SCOUTING BAYER LEVERKUSEN STAR EDMOND TAPSOBA AFTER TIP-OFF “There is a 60 per cent chance that Edinson will come to South America,” Cavani senior recently said. “We are very anxious. We


have always been to visit him, he has been in very beautiful places where people have received him very well. “He has made himself loved, he has made many friends, but today he does not feel


comfortable where he is.” United have the option to extend Cavani's one-year contract by a further year. However, given that he earns over £200,000-a-week, it remains unlikely they


will keep him against his will. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks set to target a new No 9 this summer with Erling Haaland back on the agenda. The Borussia Dortmund frontman is attracting interest


from a host of clubs including Manchester City, Real Madrid and Chelsea. Harry Kane is also a potential option for United but the financial elements of the transfer make any deal incredibly


difficult.
