Very few would have thought at the beginning of this season,that Manchester United would be in pursuit of a striker in the upcoming summer. Radamel Falcao, Robin Van Persie, Angel Di Maria, Juan Mata- you would rarely find such an attacking line-up in the Premier League.
‘All that glitters is not gold’ -is a well-known age old proverb that we all are aware of. Manchester United fans must be knowing the meaning better after this season gets over,or even before that courtesy a disappointing goal scoring season for the Red Devils despite the attacking competency.
So the scouts have now turned their eyes upon the PSG star Edinson Cavani , who is set to leave the club at the end of the season. Arsenal had set their target upon him, but United seems to be more determined to land him to the theatre of dreams, and in fact scouted Cavani last month, during PSG’s 3-1 win over Toulouse. According to reports, Falcao is unlikely to get a permanent deal with the Red Devils and Van Persie at 31 is not as fit and prolific as he used to be earlier.
Cavani is also reported to be a target for Atletico Madrid, according to Mirror but United will have the edge it seems this time around. The Uruguayan has scored 40 goals in 71 appearances for the Paris side after joining them from Napoli and is one of the most destructive strikers in world football at present.
After his fellow countrymen’s stint with Liverpool in the Premier League, the 28-year old would be eager to make his mark in the top English league.
