Edinson Cavani’s father said his son is not happy at Manchester United and would like to return to South America.
Cavani has scored seven goals in 25 games since moving to Old Trafford on a free transfer in October. He signed a two-year contract, but both the 34-year-old and United have the option to reduce the deal in the summer.

Luis Cavani questioned his son’s future amid Boca Juniors’ interest and when asked if Edinson could return to South America at the end of the season, he said Super football: “I would say there is a 60% chance.”
He added: My son is not happy in England and wants to get closer to his family. He wants to play in South America.
“I want Edinson to play for a team that is fighting for important trophies. He had a lot of conversations with [Boca vice-president Juan Roman] Riquelme and would like to play for Boca “.
Cavani’s move to United was considered a success, but in January the Uruguayan international received a three-game ban for using a term that could be considered discriminatory in the UK in a friend’s Instagram post.
He also struggled with injury issues since the beginning of the year and missed a 2-0 victory over Manchester City on Sunday.
“At the end of the season, he would like to return to South America,” Luis added. “My son’s idea is not to continue there [in Manchester].
“He wants to go back to South America.” He was very unhappy with the sanction because he said “negrito”.
