Cavani responds to father's Man Utd exit claims

Edinson Cavani insists he's proud to be playing for Manchester United.

The striker's father has declared he will leave at season's end to sign for Boca Juniors.

But Cavani took to social media on Tuesday night to post a picture of himself in full United kit along with the caption: "Orgulloso de vestir esta camiseta" - which translates as 'proud to wear this shirt.'

Earlier this week, Dad Luis had said: "My son does not feel comfortable in England and wants to be close to the family again.

"Edinson is going to end up playing in South America. I want Edinson to play in a team that fights for something important.

"Edinson had many conversations with Riquelme and he would like to play for Boca.

"He was always seduced by the idea of playing in Boca. If he returns to South America he is leaning towards Boca."
