Man Utd signing Cavani: Neymar and I didn't need to be friends to win with PSG | OneFootball

Manchester United signing Edinson Cavani insists he didn't have to be close to Neymar for them to succeed together at PSG.

However, the Uruguay striker says he and Neymar did get along during their time at PSG.

He told ESPN: "The only time I fought with Neymar was in the match against Lyon. We also had a dispute in the locker room but it was the only time we had an argument. Of the rest that was said of us there is nothing certain. We were different.

"As I have always said, in a dressing room we are not obliged to be friends or brothers.

"What matters is what happens on the pitch, there we have to be friends, protect ourselves for each other, run for our teammates. In the locker room, there is no need to have a chat with everyone or go out to eat with everyone. What counts is the respect we have for each other on the pitch.

"We were different and we thought differently, but that did not prevent us from having a good relationship."
