Edison Cavani was about to leave Manchester United last January. Riquelme, sports director of Boca Juniors, assured that he spoke with the Uruguayan forward months ago and demanded a transfer, fed up with the situation he was experiencing at United.

I remember we talked one day and the next day he came in and scored two goals in the last minutes. He made a great comeback. From then on he began to score goals in all the games and they renewed with him. “

Cavani’s phone is on fire …
