Man Utd striker Cavani indifferent about Champions League draw

Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani insists he doesn't care who the club draw in the Champions League last-16 phase.

The Red Devils will learn their next opponents when the draw takes place in Switzerland on Monday.

Asked whether he will be keeping a close eye on developments in Switzerland on Monday, he replied: "Look, I have my own personal opinion on this, and everyone will have their own thoughts and views on this competition. I personally know and believe that, to win an overall competition, you have to come up against the very best.

"Sometimes you're drawn against some teams, other times you're drawn against other different sides. But I think that the best teams in Europe are involved in this competition. So I'm not really one for thinking, let's see who we get in the draw!

"Whichever team that we get to play, the key will be that we trust and believe in ourselves, and in just how strong this team can be, and that we are calm in the knowledge that we can go out onto the pitch, against whoever we draw, with our own identity and personality.

"Our identity in the way we play, our own identity… So personally I'm not really one who really pays close attention to the draw."
