Edinson Cavani's father wants to see his son end his Paris St-Germain "suffering" and sign for either Man Utd, Real Madrid or Juventus.

Cavani scored PSG's winner in their 2-1 victory over Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday night, but, according to his father, is frustrated by the lack of opportunities he has had to play as a central striker this season.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been deployed as the French club's main centre-forward with Cavani often used in wider attacking areas.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has dropped a huge hint over his future

He started the Chelsea game as a substitute and only played the final 16 minutes of the tie after being brought on to replace Brazilian winger Lucas.

His father, Luis Cavani, feels PSG have given up on his son, and wants to see him move during the summer transfer window, with Old Trafford among the preferred destinations.

"Zlatan is not willing to play on the wings," he told Israeli TV station Sport 5. "So they gave up on Edinson. PSG themselves. Edinson is suffering at PSG. If they let him play as the No 9 he will be happy.

"I would like to see him play for Real Madrid, Manchester United or Juventus."
