Manchester United may have one of the best strike force in the world with Robin van Persie, Radamel Falcao and Wayne Rooney upfront, still they are looking for more reinforcements.
Robin van Persie is in his 30s and his best days are surely past him. On the other hand, Radamel Falcao’s loan move has not been a hit and United may as well return him back to Monaco at the end of the season.
Wayne Rooney has been the one man who has continued to lead from the front but needs more support in attack.
Hence, the Red Devils are looking to sign a world class striker in the summer transfer window and reports suggest that Uruguayan international Edinson Cavani is the man they want.
According to Metro, Manchester United are clear to sign the former Napoli hitman who has been looking to move away from Ligue 1 for quite some time.
As per the provided link, United are ready to pay his wages of £220,000-a-week and a transfer of £50m is being talked up for the 28 year old star striker.
In the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cavani has once again been mostly used on the left side in attack but still has brilliant stats.
In 34 appearances in all competitions, Cavani has netted 17 goals and provided 2 assists. He has been impressive in the Champions league having scored 6 goals in 7 games including the crucial goal he scored last night against Chelsea.
Signing Cavani will be a major coup for Manchester United but first they must focus on finishing in top for and ensuring Champions League qualification for next season.

As a concern fan of Manchester United, Cavani is too old for the amount being kept for his transfer deal to manunited. And again,at his age he might not have the playing ability or pace to work actively at manunited after two seasons yet to come. Thinking of the past deals in thelikes of Robin van persie and Radamel Falcao, he may play actively in tha first season then he fails quickly and not as expected of him.
Cavani is too old for 50 million pounds. Man United must try to secure the services of Dybala
