Edinson Cavani 'turned down Manchester United exit in January'

Edinson Cavani reportedly turned down the chance to leave Manchester United during the January transfer window.

With less than six months remaining on his contract, speculation was rife that the Uruguay international could depart Old Trafford at the midway point of the campaign.

The 35-year-old will not be short of options when he leaves United in the summer, and it appears that was the case at the turn of the year.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Cavani made the decision to rebuff any advances for his signature.

The report suggests that United interim boss Ralf Rangnick convinced the veteran to see out the season at the Premier League giants.

Cavani has been provided with regular action since the arrival of Rangnick, featuring on seven occasions since December 27.

The player is allegedly keen for a transfer to La Liga ahead of 2022-23.
