Cavani: "Ronaldo arrival at United made me want to leave"

Edinson Cavani did not enjoy his latest spell at Manchester United. The 36-year-old had to spend a lot of time on the bench after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford.
The former Paris Saint-Germain player decided to leave the English club after scoring 17 goals in 39 games in his first year.
"Knowing a bit about the world of football these days, the first thing I did was call my brother [Walter Fernando Guglielmone, who also acts as his agent] and said: "Fernando, if this had happened a week ago, I would ask you to find me another club."
"But not because I didn't want to play with Cristiano Ronaldo. No. Because I had the opportunity to know him, and he is a great professional, with his targets, and that is perfect for a sportsman. But as I know, after years in football, how things work these days. That's why I spoke to my brother," he added.
"It was more about understanding the situation. Not because I couldn't play in my role at Manchester, but because there are many things in football nowadays that are different from how they were with other people, how it was before, years ago. And since it happened suddenly, I felt nothing. I thought: We'll play, do the best we can," Cavani concluded.
