Man Utd: Cavani ‘won’t change club’s destiny’ says pundit
Paris Saint-German manager Thomas Tuchel has refused claims from Edinson Cavani’s father that the club had shown a “lack of respect” for the Uruguayan. Cavani is keen on leaving the Ligue 1 champions this January ahead of the expiration of his contract in the summer.

Cavani’s contract runs out in the summer and has made just 14 appearances this season for PSG.
Mauro Icardi has taken Cavani’s starting place but his loan with PSG is up in the summer too.
Despite the linked with Chelsea, though, Cavani’s dad is pushing for a move to Atletico.
"I would like him to play there [Atletico], Simeone wants him now but the head coach of Paris St-Germain says he needs him to help them compete in the Champions League," Cavani's father Luis told Spanish TV programme El Chiringuito.
