Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool stumped as Man Utd become favourites to sign Edinson Cavani
MANCHESTER UNITED have been made favourites to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani…according to the bookies!
Odds on Cavani moving to either Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool were slashed aimd reports the Uruguayan asked his agent to investigate a summer move to the Premier League.
The 27-year-old is known to be unhappy about his secondary role to Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Laurent Blanc's team.

Man Utd and Chelsea are both targeting Edison Cavani. He would be a great addition to the Premier League! https://t.co/NgWAPYYLT3

It's believed PSG will demand at least a £40m transfer fee for their coveted 27-year-old, should they decide to sell.
A bumper price-tag that has many fans questioning whether the player is worth the mammoth sum.
Cavani, though. 27 years old. Didn't exactly light up the World Cup. Would be at least 40m, and ridiculous wages. For me he's not worth it.

Cavani at 40/50 million? Ridiculous! Way Overrated!

Bookmakers are perhaps basing their odds on comments made by Cavani during the World Cup.
When asked about United's reported interest he said: "In football you never know. Anything can happen.
"One day you're in one team and they next day you can be in another."
