According to recent reports, Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are both keen to try and sign Manchester United attacker Edinson Cavani once the January transfer window opens.

That’s according to a recent report from El Nacional, who claims the South American could be heading for the Old Trafford exit this winter.

Cavani, 34, joined the Red Devils on deadline day last summer on a free transfer after his contract with Paris-Saint Germain expired earlier that year.

Since his arrival in Manchester, the 34-year-old has gone on to feature in 43 matches, in all competitions, directly contributing to 23 goals, along the way.
