Boca Juniors are preparing for the arrival of Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani.

Doble Amarilla reports Cavani informed the Red Devils hierarchy of his intention to leave for South America at the end of the season after the 3-1 win over Burnley on Sunday.

Cavani has two-and-a-half months remaining on his contract and while there is an option to extend for another season, it would require both the player and the club to agree to activate this clause.

And the former Paris Saint-Germain ace will pass up this opportunity in order to leave Old Trafford this summer.

And Boca Juniors are reserving their No.7 and No.9 jerseys - Cavani's favourite shirt numbers - ahead of his arrival this summer.
