Manchester United top star close to joining new club


Manchester United top star, Edinson Cavani is close to joining a new club, Real Sociedad.

Cavani is on the verge of agreeing on a move to the LaLiga side this year.

The Uruguay international was a resounding success during his first season at Old Trafford, scoring 17 times after joining the Premier League giants on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Cavani has been ravaged by injury this season and many fans have questioned his commitment to the Red Devils.

His contract with Man United will expire at the end of the season and there is little appetite from either side for the former Napoli player to extend his stay at Old Trafford.

It had been widely expected that Cavani would return to South America, given his desire to be closer to his homeland.

Boca Juniors and River Plate both came close to signing the 35-year-old last summer, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer convinced him to stay put for another 12 months.

However, according to the Sun, Cavani wants to remain in Europe and is close to agreeing on a move to Real Sociedad.
