Edinson Cavani revealed that the club was interested in signing him around five years ago before joining the club last year.
United moved to sign the 34-year-old forward on the summer window’s deadline following his release from Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite his veteran status, Edinson Cavani has proven a popular addition at the old Trafford stadium – thanks to his seven goals from 24 appearances so far.
Talks to extend Cavani’s stay by another year are ongoing, and now the Uruguayan has revealed just how long he dreamt of playing at Manchester United.
