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.
Thus according to reports from French Media outlet Le 10 Sport, United sent scouts
to keep on PSG star striker 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 PSGs 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.
Chelsea were also earlier interested in the player who PSG in the summer of 2013
from Italian side Napoli for a whopping fee of 55m. Thus any potential suitor will
know that he will not come cheap and his price tag is 45m.
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 countryman Luis Suarezs incredible stint with Liverpool in the
Premier League, the 28-year old would be eager to make his mark in the top English
league.
