MANUEL PELLEGRINI is set for a double snub from Edinson Cavani AND Isco.

Manchester City have held talks with Cavani and Isco with a view to signing them for a combined fee of around £80m.
But it has emerged that the duo both favour joining Real Madrid instead.
Cavani is Pellegrini's top summer target, with the Blues willing to match the £55m get-out clause in the Napoli star's contract.
But Cavani's father Luiz has revealed his son wants to join Spanish giants Real instead.
He said: "His intention is to play for Madrid. He is excited about it and quite willing to see it through.

"I hope it happens and that it takes place as soon as possible. Who wouldn't want to play for Real Madrid?" To make matters worse, Spanish international Isco (right) is also leaning towards a £30m switch to the Bernabeu.
The Malaga star knows Pellegrini well following their time together at the Spanish outfit. But signing him is far from guaranteed, with Isco telling friends the chance to join Real might be one he cannot afford to turn down.
Isco said: "Pellegrini is my footballing father, so you have to think about City and look at it. And Madrid? There is that also, so we will see what happens."
