Edinson Cavani admits he almost joined Manchester United 11 years ago.
Cavani revealed he almost joined Manchester United in 2010.
The Uruguayan was with Palermo at the time but ended up joining Napoli and then Paris Saint-Germain - before signing for United a decade later.
Discussing it with Inside United, Cavani said: "Just imagine it! I can't remember exactly what happened.
"I do remember there was talk about one or two different teams, but hey, if I'd had that opportunity [to join United], I would have taken it, of course I would, without giving it a second thought.
“I don't remember definitively if that was the case.
"But what I do remember is that I was due to travel to the World Cup in South Africa, and during that tournament, I had a conversation with Napoli, and well, told them if they had faith in me and wanted me to go there, trust and confidence are worth a lot to me, and so I made my decision and after Palermo I made the move to Napoli."
