Edinson Cavani says he is settled at PSG but admits that anything could happen this summer amid reported interest from Manchester United.

The 27-year-old striker, who only moved to the Ligue 1 side from Napoli last year, is recently said to have been keen on a Premier League switch due to frustrations at being played out wide.

Chelsea have also been linked with a move and the Uruguay star would command a large fee after costing PSG a reported £55million to secure his services.

Cavani is under contract in France for a further four years and although he insists that he plans to stay put, the striker believes there is an element of unpredictability about the transfer market

"I feel good at Paris and I count on staying, but considering how this window has gone so far, nobody really knows," he told Ovacion.

"The idea was for me to stay in Paris and the owner of the club thinks the same."

Cavani enjoyed a successful debut season in Paris, helping his side to retain the Ligue 1 title as well as winning the Coupe de la Ligue.

He hit 25 goals in all competitions before going on to help Uruguay to the knock-out stages of the World Cup, finding the net once along the way.
