Edinson Cavani has revealed he almost quit football after he and his girlfriend battled Covid-19.
The 33-year-old signed as a free agent with Manchester United on Tuesday, agreeing to a one-year contract with an option for another year.
Cavani spent seven years with PSG before the move and admits he almost quit football in the summer after contracting the coronavirus.
"Your family's health comes first," Cavani told Argentine radio program Dos de Punta. "Of course I considered the idea of quitting football. It is true that I managed that option and that possibility to stop playing and stay in the countryside, dedicate myself to my life in the countryside.
"We have suffered through the coronavirus with my family and with my girlfriend. The truth is that it was bad because of the fear that it awakens. Thank God we recovered well and evolved well and here we are."
