text: Manchester United's pursuit of Edinson Cavani took a blow on Monday morning as Paris Saint-Germain denied they are prepared to sell the striker. United have been considering a bid for the Uruguayan as they look to freshen up their forward options, with Radamel Falcao expected to return to Monaco, and Robin van Persie failing to hold down a starting place. But PSG owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi said the French champions were determined to hold on to the 28-year-old and have not even considered selling him. Edinson Cavani celebrates with the French League Cup trophy after scoring twice in the final against Bastia . The Uruguayan forward is a target for Manchester United but looks set to stay in Paris . Cavani holds the trophy aloft as PSG secured the first leg of a possible quadruple on Saturday evening . 'Edinson Cavani is a player I really like,' he told Le Parisien. 'I can tell you that he is very much with us, and the question of his departure has not arisen. Paris loves him and he loves Paris.' Cavani has not been as instrumental to the club's fortunes this season as he was last year but came off the bench to score twice against Bastia in Saturday's League Cup final win. PSG are thought to have doubts about the future of star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and should he leave they would certainly want to keep Cavani. The Uruguayan joined the French champions in a £50million deal from Napoli in the summer of 2013.
