River Plate's football director Enzo Francescoli denies reports claiming that his side could move for Manchester United's Edinson Cavani this summer.

River Plate football director Enzo Francescoli has denied reports linking his side with a summer move for Edinson Cavani.

The Manchester United attacker is due to become a free agent at the end of the season and is not expected to extend his stay at Old Trafford for another year.

A return to South America has understandably been mooted for Cavani, with reports claiming that River Plate had planned to sign the Uruguay international to replace Manchester City-bound Julian Alvarez.

However, Francescoli has now poured cold water over such rumours, telling Supermite: "I never spoke with Cavani. There were no negotiations at all."

Cavani is thought to be holding out for a move to La Liga for the 2022-23 season, with the 35-year-old believing that he still has something to offer at the top level.

The former Paris Saint-Germain attacker has 19 goals and seven assists to his name from 54 games for Man United but has only made 15 appearances during an injury-hit 2021-22 campaign.
