Cavani Advised to Leave Manchester United in January

Edinson Cavani has been told he may have to leave Manchester United if he wants to continue being a key player for Uruguay.

The striker extended his Old Trafford stay in the summer but has found opportunities hard to come by this season.

Last term he proved his worth, usurping Anthony Martial to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first choice in attack, but Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival has furthered competition – with the Portuguese now the undisputed No.1 pick.

Cavani has started just one of United’s seven Premier League games this far, with a further two appearances coming from the bench.

For years he has been a leading light with his national team, but in the recent round of international games he failed to start either of Uruguay’s contests.

Compatriot Gus Poyet believes that may be down to a lack of action in Manchester and urged him to consider a midseason exit.
