Dinamo Moscow coach Sandro Schwartz has played down the prospect of signing Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani.

Off contract in June, Cavani is being linked with a January departure from United.

And while Real Madrid are said to be keen, the 34 year-old has also been linked with Dinamo Moscow in the Russian press.

However, in reaction, Schwartz said: “He has a valid contract with Manchester United.

"It is not worth talking about what did not take place and is not reality. I work with and deal with my players."
