Boca Juniors made the announcement shortly after Valencia terminated the 36-year-old’s contract.
Cavani remains part of the international setup with Uruguay, and has scored 58 goals in 136 appearances for his country.
He left Danubio in his homeland for Palermo of Serie A in 2007, before developing a reputation as an elite goalscorer in spells with Napoli and PSG ahead of his transfer to United in 2020.
Boca Juniors won their 35th Argentine league title in 2022, but are eighth in this season’s table as things stand.
Ex-United goalkeeper Sergio Romero and former Marseille striker Dario Benedetto are the star names in the Boca Juniors’ squad.
