Manchester United's 34-year-old veteran Cavani has decided to leave the team, with La Liga giants Barca and Brazilian powerhouse Corinthians both potential underpinnings. Even if Barca can only play in the Europa League in the second half of the season, the Uruguayan striker does not mind, and his brother and agent have also negotiated with Corinthians.
Barca are already out of the group in the Champions League and will fall into the Europa League next year. This worries the new boss Xavi, as many stars want to play in the Champions League. Barca hope to reinforce the front line in January, Argentine striker Aguero has heart problems and may announce his retirement, while Manchester United's Cavani and Manchester City's Ferran Torres are both targets for Barca.
Spain's "World Sports" said that Cavani is willing to play for Barca in the Europa League, in fact he also played well in Manchester United's Europa League last season, helping Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reach the final. At United, his chances are likely to be limited, as Lonnick uses a 4222 formation and can only choose between Ronaldo, Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Cavani.
Cavani's contract with Manchester United expires next summer and a transfer is also likely to be completed in January, but Barca have not yet made a final decision, as another Manchester United centre-forward, Anthony Martial, is also the target of the team's inspection. Similarly, the Uruguayan shooter needs to consider other options, with his half-brother Walter Guglielmone already in talks with Brazil's Corinthians.
In an interview with Brazilian media, Cavani's 42-year-old agent brother explained: "We still have to wait and see the potential possibilities. If any team in Brazil offers a good offer, we will always consider it. It is my duty to find options for Cavani."
In addition to Barca and Corinthians, Cavani has also had rumors with well-known teams such as Palmeiras in Brazil and Boca Juniors in Argentina, and he does not lack a family.
Including Cavani, Martial and Jesse Lingard, many of United's attacking players have the intention to leave the team, interim manager Ronnick is not panicking, he greatly appreciates the youth coach Anthony Erlanga, if someone transfers, the Swedish fast horse may get more opportunities to play.
Last week, United had announced their refusal to allow Sweden to call up Erlanga next January, a move that was shelled by Swedish boss Yana Anderson. The 19-year-old Erlanga has already made two appearances since Lennick took office, and the Vikings had hoped to recruit him into the 24-man squad, training in Portugal in January to prepare for the European play-offs in the World Cup qualifiers next March, but Manchester United rejected the proposal and refused to let it go.
Erlanga has played for Sweden under 21 in the last eight times, but has not yet been selected for the senior national team. Sweden boss Anderson said: "We want to have Anthony (Erlanga) in january training and, interestingly, he also got playing time at Manchester United. We will continue to pay close attention to Anthony's development in the future."
In the long run, Manchester United will definitely bring in new strikers in next summer's transfer window, of which Fiorentina centre-forward Toussan Flanovic, who has become a big hit in Serie A this season, is one of the options. The 21-year-old Vlahovic has scored 15 goals and two assists in 17 serie a serie a rounds this season, and because he refused to renew his contract, it has also attracted the attention of giants including Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus, and Arsenal is even willing to pay him a transfer fee of 80 million euros!
