The Italian website, Calciomercato, reported that Manchester United offered Juventus to include Cavani, before the summer Mercato closed, as a replacement for Portuguese star Ronaldo, but the Juventus administration rejected the idea of including the Red Devils striker.
The Italian report added that the English club’s offer comes in order to release the number 7 shirt that Cavani wears, in order to get the Portuguese star Ronaldo.

Ronaldo returned to Manchester United this summer after 3 seasons with Juventus, in a deal worth 23 million euros.
