“Of course, I considered the idea of ​​quitting football.

“We have suffered the coronavirus with my family and with my girlfriend.”

The 33-year-old former Paris Saint-Germain striker Cavani signed a 12-month Old Trafford deal for £ 200,000 a week with an additional 12-month option.



His model girlfriend Jocelyn Burgardt tested positive for the virus shortly after PSG released him in June.

And in an interview with Argentine radio, Cavani added: “The truth is that it was wrong because of the fear it arouses. Thank God we recovered well and evolved well and here we are.

“But it’s true that I managed to stop playing and stay on the pitch, dedicate myself to my life on the pitch.”

“It is normal for anxiety to start to enter your mind.

“The leagues had started to compete and of course I wanted to have a team.

“There are things that are not given because they should not be given.

“I am of the idea that in life things come when they have to and sometimes, no matter how much you want something, if it doesn’t have to happen, it doesn’t happen.

“There was a lot of uncertainty and anxiety. The days began to pass and I saw my family, friends and everyone wanting to know where I was going to play.

“We are here, happy with the decision and now I want to wear the shirt.”
