Manchester United ready to pay £70m for World Class Bundesliga Striker, Solskjaer sets target date to clear deadwood from club and more Manchester United Transfer News: May 28, 2019

#3 €50m Uruguayan hitman not interested in joining United

Cavani won't be leaving Paris Saint-Germain for Old Trafford.

Manchester United's search for a world class goalscorer seems to have hit another road block. Italian Media house Calciomercato had revealed in April that United were reportedly interested in bringing PSG's Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani to the Premier League. The player himself was said to be excited about the prospect of playing in England.

However, France football now reveal that the Uruguayan is no longer interested in joining United because of the lack of Champions League football. He could instead move to Athletico Madrid who could target him if Griezmann does finally move this summer.

Cavani had 30 appearances for PSG this season, scoring 21 goals and picking up 6 assists. Despite the fact that he is 32 years old, the Uruguayan is still one of the best strikers in the world right now. He certainly would have been the right man to lead United forward next season, however, it seems like the lack of Champions League football has cost United here.
