Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani has explained that he had to turn down big move to reigning Italian champions Juventus and Inter Milan for him to join Manchester United in the EPL.

Following the expiration of his contract at Paris-Saint-Germain, Edinson Cavani completed a move to Manchester United on the deadline day and he has been superb for the Red Devils.

Before leaving France, Edinson Cavani spent seven years at Paris-Saint-Germain playing 301 games and scored 200 goals.

According to the report on Mirror, Edinson Cavani explained that he rejected a move to Juventus or Inter Milan because of his love for Napoli.

“I will always be grateful to them [Napoli fans]. It is for this reason that I said no to many Italian clubs including Juventus, who called me often, and also Inter.''

He scored 104 goals in 138 games for Napoli after joining from rival Serie A club Palermo in 2010.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how embattled Manchester United boss Ole Solskjaer claimed that the Red Devils can still win the Premier League title this season despite their unimpressive performance this term.

The Red Devils recently crashed out of the prestigious Champions League which has put manager Ole Solskjaer under serious pressure for him to deliver at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer's credential will be put into another big test this weekend as his wards will be facing Manchester City in what is expected to be a tough game.

''I got belief during the season, or since the turn of the new year, that this team is improving and that we can put up a challenge.
''Of course we need to improve on last season but I don't think any team will run away with it.
''I go into every single game wanting to win, so maybe that's the answer to your question. If you win every game you end up with a trophy.''

Manchester United are currently occupying seventh position on the Premier League table with 19 points.
